How do I keep the copilot from popping up everytime that a new chat comes in, or I change from window to window in chat?

Hi Claire Sullivan,

Based on your description, Copilot appears to be automatically reopening whenever a new chat arrives or when switching between chat windows and tabs.

Here are some quick checks that you can try:

• Review your Copilot or application settings for any options related to automatic opening, startup behavior, or contextual assistance.
• Make sure the application is updated to the latest available version.
• If available, try temporarily collapsing or pinning the Copilot pane and verify whether the behavior changes after restarting the application.

If the issue continues, it may be helpful to submit feedback directly from the application and include:

• A brief description of when the panel reopens.
• Screenshots or a screen recording.
• The application version you are using.

This information can help the product team better understand the behavior and its impact on your workflow.
