AI is advancing rapidly, and Microsoft Copilot Studio keeps your agent updated with the latest models. To balance innovation and stability, you can continue using retired models for 30 days after an automatic upgrade—helpful for compatibility, compliance, or specific business needs.

To use this feature:

  1. Go to your agent's Settings page.

  2. In the Model section, turn on Continue using retired models.

Once Continue using retired models is turned on, you can switch between retired and upgraded models at any time during the 30-day period. Your preference applies to any future model upgrades until you turn off the setting.
