Summary

Adds two new articles and updates two existing articles to cover the new Submit to your org catalog flow in Agent Builder. Makers can now submit agents for admin review and publication to the Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent Store under Built by your org, for broad organizational availability without per-user sharing prerequisites.

Target publication: 2026-05-08.

New articles

  • agent-builder-submit-to-org-catalog.md — submission flow, field requirements, approval status tracking, post-approval updates, and how to find an approved agent in the Agent Store.
  • agent-builder-publication-privacy-terms-of-use.md — guidance on providing valid privacy statement and terms of use URLs, and how those URLs flow to both the shared version and the Agent Store version of the agent.

Updates

  • agent-builder-share-manage-agents.md
    • Removes the stale Differences between sharing and publishing agents table (compared sharing with Copilot Studio publishing, not the relevant comparison on this page).
    • Adds a new Update your agent's About info section covering the About this agent dialog and its fields.
    • Adds a short Submit an agent to your org catalog section that links to the new submission page, with a clear note that the shared version and the Agent Store version are managed separately.
    • Updates the Related content list.
  • publish.md
    • Updates the Submit to organizational catalog row in the Declarative agents built with Microsoft 365 Copilot table to point to the new submission page (currently points to the sharing page).
    • Updates the Note under that section to reference the submission flow.
    • Extends the closing paragraph to link both the share-and-manage page and the new submission page.
  • TOC.yml
    • Adds entries for both new articles under the Use Microsoft 365 Copilot (Agent Builder) section.

Notes for reviewers

  • All new UI terminology is verified against the shipping product (Submit to your org catalog, Submit to your catalog, Submit for admin approval, Continue, Waiting for approval, Approved, Rejected by your admin, Go to Agent Store).
  • Character limits and URL validation rules (30/80/32 characters for text fields, 2,048 characters with HTTPS required for URLs) match the Agent Builder submission form validation.
  • No screenshots added in this PR; the existing page style relies primarily on prose + tables, and several maker-side screenshots still need capture on a tenant with the feature enabled before they can be contributed.
  • Cross-links to the admin-side flow point to /microsoft-365/admin/manage/agent-registry#publish-agents.

Adds two new articles and updates two existing articles to cover the new
"Submit to your org catalog" flow in Agent Builder, which lets makers
submit agents for admin review and publication to the Microsoft 365
Copilot Agent Store under "Built by your org".

New articles:
- agent-builder-submit-to-org-catalog.md: submission flow, fields,
  approval status tracking, post-approval updates, and how to find the
  approved agent in the Agent Store.
- agent-builder-publication-privacy-terms-of-use.md: guidance on
  providing valid privacy statement and terms of use URLs, and how
  those URLs flow to both the shared version and the Agent Store
  version of the agent.

Updates:
- agent-builder-share-manage-agents.md: removes the stale
  "Differences between sharing and publishing agents" table (which
  compared sharing with Copilot Studio publishing, not relevant on
  this Agent Builder page); adds "Update your agent's About info"
  and "Submit an agent to your org catalog" sections; updates the
  related-content list.
- publish.md: fixes the "Submit to organizational catalog" row in
  the "Declarative agents built with Microsoft 365 Copilot" table
  to point to the new page, updates the note to reference the
  submission flow, and updates the closing paragraph.
- TOC.yml: adds entries for the two new articles under the Agent
  Builder section.
@sophie-roy3 sophie-roy3 requested a review from a team as a code owner April 21, 2026 14:05
Replaces "**More options** (the overflow menu)" and "**More options**"
with "the **More** ellipses (**...**)" to match the canonical product
UI label ("More" per the menu tooltip) and the pattern used throughout
agent-builder-share-manage-agents.md.
Updated author and ms.author fields in the document.
Expands the Creator website description in both the About this agent
table and the submission form table to include concrete examples
(profile page, team SharePoint site, internal support page) so makers
understand what to point the link at.

> [!TIP]
> **Short description**, **Creator website**, **Privacy statement**, and **Terms of use** are prepopulated from your agent's **About this agent** settings.

The privacy statement and terms of use URLs apply to both the shared version of your agent and the Agent Store version. When you save these URLs, either in the submission dialog or in the **About this agent** dialog, both versions are updated.

> [!NOTE]
> To update these URLs after approval, resubmit your agent for admin review. Changes to the shared version apply immediately. Changes to the Agent Store version apply only after admin approval.

> [!NOTE]
> If sharing options are restricted in your organization, when you share the agent, an admin must approve and deploy it before it's available to other users in the organization.
> If sharing options are restricted in your organization, makers can submit agents to the organizational catalog for admin review.
