    In the newer Copilot Studio unified authoring experience, system topics still exist, including Conversational boosting.

    Supported facts:

    • System topics are built into Copilot Studio and are added to an agent automatically when the agent is created.
    • Conversational boosting is one of the available system topics.
    • In unified authoring, system topics were updated, and the topic view now shows all trigger types.
    • When a new agent is created, Copilot Studio automatically creates the Conversational boosting system topic.
    • Knowledge sources added at the agent level are added to the generative answers node in the Conversational boosting system topic.

    If system topics are not visible in the new UI, that is not described here as a product removal. The documented behavior is that they are still part of the agent.

    This behavior is expected with the new Copilot Studio experience. Agents created in the new experience use the GitHub Copilot harness, which relies on instructions, knowledge, tools, and enhanced orchestration instead of explicit conversation topics. Therefore, Conversational boosting and the other system topics aren’t displayed.

    If you require system topics, return to the Copilot Studio Home page and either turn off New experience or select Other ways to build, then create a standard-harness agent. Its Topics page includes Conversational boosting and the other system topics automatically.

    Existing GitHub Copilot-harness agents can’t be converted to standard-harness agents.
