Copilot Actions, rolling out

Copilot Actions has been available through Copilot Studio for some time, and now, a version of this feature is being rolled out within Microsoft 365. This new integration offers a user-friendly way to automate and delegate common tasks. The term "Actions" varies depending on the application.

74-322 passed
