I built a copilot using Copilot Studio and published it to Teams channel. It works great.

Now, I want to promote my Copilot to my next environment. I exported and re-imported my solution in the new environment. What is the best practice as the Copilot name has to be unique in Teams? I cannot find documentation or article on this topic.

Best Practice to name Copilots for environments:

In Dev: CopilotName-Dev

In Test: CopilotName-Test

In Production: CopilotName

Hi CU03101553-0 ,

Yes, each Copilot you deploy in Microsoft Teams must have a unique name. After importing your solution into the new environment, update the name of the Copilot so that it doesn't conflict with the existing Copilot in Teams. This is important because Teams uses the name to distinguish different bots/apps.

I will be using

[Dev] Copilot for XXX - For Dev

[UAT] Copilot for XXX - Foe SIT/UAT

Copilot for XXX - Production

Thanks.

Thank you @Vinoth and SaiRT14. Is there a way to do it automatically instead of a manual process?

What if I deploy my solution as managed, my understanding is that I cannot change it anymore.
