Upgrade Classic Copilot Studio Agents Around Capabilities
Diesen Beitrag auf Deutsch lesen
The Copilot Studio plugin migrates classic agents to modern orchestration by analyzing capabilities, proposing architecture, and generating Skills and tools for review.
TL;DR
The Copilot Studio plugin migration command retrieves a classic agent, analyzes its capabilities, proposes a modern architecture, and generates an upgraded agent. In the demo, a travel advice child agent becomes a Skill. The plugin is experimental, so teams must compare behavior, inspect Skills and tools, test inputs, and verify action safeguards.

Governance takeaway
- Makers: Use the migration command as a starting point, then redesign around capabilities and outcomes rather than copying components one for one.
- Admins/CoE: Install Power Platform CLI newer than version 2.9.3, add the current plugin, and use the required environment, agent, and tenant IDs when invoking migration.
- Security/Compliance: Treat output as a strong first draft, review every Skill and tool, test expected and unexpected inputs, and confirm action safeguards because the plugin is experimental and unsupported.
