 # Pin Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat to the navigation bar
 
-As an administrator, you can pin Copilot to the navigation bar of Teams, Outlook, and the Microsoft 365 Copilot app, including [M365Copilot.com](https://M365Copilot.com), Microsoft 365 desktop app, and the Microsoft 365 mobile app. When you pin Copilot Chat, it encourages your organization to use Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat.
+As an administrator, you can pin Copilot to the navigation bar of Teams, Outlook, and the Microsoft 365 Copilot app, across the web, desktop, and mobile. Pinning makes it easy for your users to access Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat as the secure and compliant generative AI chat solution that’s available to them on their work identity (signed in with a Microsoft Entra account).
 
-Admin pinning allows you to set Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat to appear on the navigation bar for the applications listed previously. This setting is only applicable for users who are signed in with a Microsoft Entra account for your tenant.

+> - If you previously selected 'Do not pin Copilot to the navigation bar' in the Microsoft 365 admin center, and also unchecked the 'Allow users to be asked whether they want to pin it' option, your setting configuration will be “Do not pin” and your users still won’t have Copilot pinned in their navigation bar. Also, if an admin switches the setting to 'Do not pin,' Copilot honors that choice. If a user sees Copilot pinned in their navigation bar and chooses to unpin it, Copilot respects that choice in future sessions.

 ## Pin Copilot in Microsoft Teams through the Teams admin center
 
 You can pin Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat for your users in Microsoft Teams only through the Teams admin center. In the Teams admin center, create or modify [App setup policies](/microsoftteams/teams-app-setup-policies#pin-apps) by adding the Copilot app to the policy's Pinned apps. When you assign the policy to users with a Microsoft Entra account, the Copilot app is pinned for them. Like pinning any other app in Teams, Copilot also needs to be allowed for those users through [App permission policies](/microsoftteams/teams-app-permission-policies) or [App centric manage](/microsoftteams/app-centric-management) if you migrated to it.
 
-> [!NOTE]
-> If you assign the policy to users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license, then the Microsoft 365 Copilot app is pinned. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app will be pinned by default in the Teams left rail starting late January 2025 (previously mid-January) and is expected to complete by late February 2025 (previously late January).

 If you select Pin Copilot through the Microsoft 365 admin center **Copilot** > **Settings** page, and you have Copilot-pinned App setup policies assigned to users with a Microsoft Entra account, those users have Copilot Chat pinned in the position defined by the App setup policy. Everyone else is pinned in a default position.
 
 If you select Do not pin Copilot through the Microsoft 365 admin center **Copilot** > **Settings** page, and you have Copilot-pinned App setup policies assigned to users with a Microsoft Entra account, only those users have Copilot Chat pinned.
