A great release for customer and partner onboarding

For customers and partners onboarding to and learning Business Central, this release will bring some game changing features, like Copilot Chat where users can be guided to find documentation, and get help on finding and navigating to records. On top of Chat, we're releasing the Ask Copilot action on fields tooltips, which allows users to ask Copilot for help on fields via Copilot Chat, for a one-click field help experience.

This will empower people new to BC to ramp up their skills much faster.

Sharing error messages with an expert

Errors will happen. When they do, it's important that users either understand the error message so they can be led to the source of the issue and fix it, or have an easy way to share the error with the person you want to help with the issue. In this release, we're making it easy to share error details with someone else.
