Is Copilot Cowork included in your Microsoft 365 Copilot licence? 🤔

Short answer: yes, if you're already licensed for M365 Copilot, Cowork is included at no extra cost.

But there's more to it than flipping a switch.

Before you turn it on, Australian IT leaders need to understand:

→ The E3 vs E5 vs E7 licensing decision (and why it matters more with Cowork).
→ What's changing with M365 pricing in July 2026.
→ The governance steps you need to take before broad rollout.
→ How to enable it in your tenant today.

We've put together a practical guide covering everything you need to know. Read the full guide here: https://okt.to/tSEBi9
