Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Did Microsoft make an update to O365 Copilot Studio or Power Platform admin center? I created a couple of agents, and they were working fine. Last week, I made some tweaks to the instruction and now I can't publish them. I've been trying to publish updates since last week and I'm not receiving errors or anything like that. The "Your agent is being published" pop up appears and it sits and spins for hours without publishing it. I can leave work, come back in the morning, and it will still be spinning.

Honestly, the only thing Copilot has done for me is to look at other LLM's for agent creation/usage.

Hi RS-04121728-0 ,

Thank your for choosing Power Platform Community.

Microsoft made backend changes recently that caused some publishing jobs to hang indefinitely in Copilot Studio and the Power Platform admin center. The issue is usually linked to environment settings, stale versions, or blocked background jobs.

To fix it:
1. Switch to a different environment and republish

Publishing often works immediately in a new or different environment (e.g., Default, Developer, or a freshly created Sandbox).

2. Clear cached build versions

In Copilot Studio → Settings → Versions, delete older unpublished versions and try publishing again.

3. Disable / re-enable Generative AI features

In Environment → Settings → Generative AI features, toggle them off and on to force a backend refresh.

4. Check background service health

Go to Power Platform Admin Center → Health → Service Health
Some users reported outages affecting agent publishing.

5. If it still won’t publish → open a support ticket

Microsoft has confirmed that some tenants require backend intervention.
