Log in to the Microsoft 365 admin center using your administrator credentials and navigate to the Active users section to ensure the Copilot Studio subscription is properly assigned to the affected user.
Navigate to the SharePoint admin center settings and review the configurations for Copilot and AI integrations to ensure they are enabled for your organization.
Review Microsoft's official 'Get started with SharePoint agents' documentation to verify that all prerequisites, including correct regional deployment settings, are met.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Copilot Studio not automatically show the SharePoint Agent?
Copilot Studio requires specific tenant-level configurations. Often, the SharePoint environment must be explicitly enabled by an IT administrator in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center to display agent icons and features.
Do I need a separate license for SharePoint Agents if I already have Copilot Studio?
Typically, Copilot Studio provides the necessary foundation for building agents, but your Microsoft 365 tenant must be appropriately licensed and configured for SharePoint AI features to function and be visible to end-users.
How can I check if AI features are disabled in my SharePoint admin center?
You can navigate to the SharePoint admin center as a Global Administrator, go to the Settings menu, and look for the Copilot or AI integrations section to ensure the features are toggled on for your site collections.
