The ArcGIS plugin inside Microsoft Copilot enables your search for private ArcGIS content. There are two ways to search for private ArcGIS content with ArcGIS for Teams.
Search with the Microsoft Copilot ArcGIS plugin
When you install ArcGIS for Teams in Microsoft Teams, an ArcGIS plugin is added to Microsoft Teams Copilot.
To access Copilotin Microsoft Teams, click the View more apps button or the Apps button. Because you have previously installed ArcGIS for Teams, Copilot recognizes the ArcGIS repository.

This plugin is inactive by default.
Copilot uses natural language processing (NLP), which trains the AI feature. The more frequently you interact with the Copilot ArcGIS plugin, the more refined and accurate your search results will be. If you are logged in to ArcGIS for Teams with an ArcGIS Enterprise URL, you can access more ArcGIS content in an enterprise organization.
Search using a Teams chat
Click search in the ArcGIS for Teams plugin in a Microsoft Teams chat to search for public and private content. The ArcGIS for Teams search window opens maps, apps, and other ArcGIS content on the Microsoft Teams Viewer tab.
When you sign in to your ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise account, you can specify the type of content you want to search for and the search location—for example, private or public. You can also refine the search to find the exact content you want. The ArcGIS for Teams plugin helps you to refine your ArcGIS content search with every new interactive query.
Note:
If you do not sign in to an ArcGIS account, you can search public ArcGIS Online content..
Using the ArcGIS plugin in Microsoft Copilot, powered by artificial intelligence, you can access a vast repository of maps and location data with ArcGIS for Teams in Microsoft Teams. When searching for ArcGIS content, a preview window shows the first five results in the text field. Once you click Search, you can continue in Microsoft Copilot.
