Copilot Studio’s new agentic workflow is evolving fast, and it now makes it easy to combine automated flow orchestration with M365 Copilot agent execution. If you have used Microsoft Foundry Workflow, the interface will feel familiar: a visual designer with triggers, actions, inline testing, flow notes, and governance hooks. What’s new in Copilot Studio agentic workflows Version control with built-in version comparison Action-level testing without running the full flow One action to initialize multiple variables Create and invoke agents directly from the workflow designer Flow-level sticky notes for context and documentation Built-in classification, human review, prompt orchestration, and M365 Copilot integration Flexible layout switching between horizontal and vertical A Tidy button to reorganize the designer automatically Easier disconnect/reconnect support for actions and connections Invoking an M365 Copilot Declarative Agent In this post I demonstrate how to invoke an M365 Copilot agent (a DeclarativeAgent) from a Copilot Studio workflow.

Think of them as the difference between asking a question and capturing a repeatable process.
