Copilot Studio assets automation

Script prompt/import/export of embeddings, actions, prompt libraries.

Valeras NarbutasUpdated Jul 16, 2025View on GitHub

Summary

This script provides comprehensive automation for managing Microsoft Copilot Studio assets including embeddings, actions, and prompt libraries. It enables you to:

Export existing Copilot Studio assets to JSON files for backup or migration
Import assets from JSON files to restore or deploy configurations
List all available assets with detailed information
Manage embeddings, actions, and prompts individually or collectively

Example Screenshot

The script supports both Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK and CLI for Microsoft 365, providing flexibility in how you interact with Copilot Studio resources. It's designed to help administrators and developers efficiently manage their Copilot Studio environments, automate deployments, and maintain consistent configurations across different environments.

How to Save and Run the Scripts

Step 1: Save the script

Copy the script content from the appropriate tab above (Microsoft Graph PowerShell or CLI for Microsoft 365)
Save it as a .ps1 file:
- For Microsoft Graph approach: Save as CopilotStudioAssetsAutomation.ps1
- For CLI approach: Save as CopilotStudioAssets-CLI.ps1

Step 2: Run the script

Open PowerShell as Administrator
