Microsoft's big Copilot rollback continues as Office now lets you move its button to the ribbon

Microsoft is rolling back its aggressive Copilot integration in Office apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). Users can now move the floating Copilot bubble to the ribbon to keep it out of the way, and docked Copilot stays fixed to the side for the entire session instead of floating back. This is part of a broader Microsoft retreat from forcing Copilot into every app after user backlash, shifting it from an intrusive centerpiece to an optional tool.
