About this tag
The copilot-sidebar tag covers discussions about Microsoft's AI assistant appearing as a docked or pinned panel in Windows 11 and Microsoft Edge. Recent threads focus on Microsoft testing a persistent sidebar that can be docked to the left or right edge of the desktop, resizing open windows around it. This feature is optional and currently in testing, with reports from late May 2026. Other content includes troubleshooting steps for the Copilot sidebar in Edge, such as updating the browser, clearing cookies, creating a new profile, or repairing the app. Additionally, Firefox 143.0 introduced support for Microsoft Copilot in its own AI sidebar. The tag reflects ongoing development and user concerns about AI integration into the Windows desktop experience.
