I am trying to add action with following the "Using Action" learning sections. I could only find "Agent" tab inside configuring my existing "New Onboarding" agent. Any suggestions.

    Sounds like you’re following the “Using Actions” learning path (where you’re supposed to add an Action to a Copilot/Agent).

    What maybe confusing you is that in your existing “New Onboarding” agent, you’re only seeing the Agent tab and not the Actions tab.

    Fix:


    Why You Only See “Agent” Tab

    • The Actions feature is available only when the Agent is created in Copilot Studio in the right environment + license.

    If your “New Onboarding” agent was created earlier (or in a restricted environment), it may not expose the Actions tab.


    Suggestions:

    Check Environment & Licensing

    • Actions require a Power Platform environment with Dataverse.

    • If your agent was created in the “Default” environment, you might not see the Actions tab.

      • Try creating a new agent in an environment that has Dataverse enabled.

     

    Verify You’re in Copilot Studio

    • Go to https://copilotstudio.microsoft.com.

    • Open your agent there.

    • You should see tabs like: Topics, Entities, Actions, etc. If you only see Agent, you’re in the simplified Copilot experience, not the full Studio.

     

    Enable “Actions” in Preview Features

    • In Copilot Studio → Settings → Preview Features, check if “Actions” is enabled. Sometimes it’s hidden behind a feature toggle.

     

    Create a Fresh Test Agent

    • To confirm it’s not an issue with the old agent, try:

      • “New Agent” → name it “Test Actions”

      • Check if the Actions tab appears

      • If it does, then migrate your flows/topics from the old agent.

    One of the problems with tutorials about the Power Platform is that Microsoft keeps changing an updating things on a pretty fast pace.  Actions are no longer called Actions. They have been renamed and updated to now be "Tools".  You can read more about them here: Add tools to custom agents - Microsoft Copilot Studio | Microsoft Learn

    hello :)
     
    Copilot Studio was recently updated and some learning are not up to date :)
     
    Action is now split :
    - Tools for "action" like workflow, connector etc
    - Agent for adding new agent (from copilot studio or others like data agent from Fabric)
     
    You could click on tools :) and then is nearly the same, if you have more question at next step feel free to ask :)
