Key tasks

Now that you’re more familiar with the authoring fundamentals in Microsoft Copilot Studio, you can explore some extended capabilities that you can use to set up and further customize the agent experience. The following sections cover two capabilities: code view for pro developers and Power Fx (for Microsoft Power Platform makers and professional developers).

Microsoft Copilot Studio has the capability to view the code behind a topic. This capability is incredibly useful for advanced authors and pro-code developers. They can view and edit the syntax directly within the web browser, and when saved, the syntax is immediately visible in the graphical authoring canvas. As a result, the process of copying and editing multiple actions becomes faster and easier.

Some specific actions are only available in the code editor view.
