What Microsoft is saying. Microsoft said the rebrand is to unify the Copilot experience:
“Our efforts to simplify the user experience and make Copilot more accessible to everyone starts with Bing, our leading experience for the web. Beginning today, Bing Chat and Bing Chat Enterprise are becoming Copilot, with commercial data protection enforced when any eligible user is signed in with Microsoft Entra ID.”
While it’s definitely a more unified experience, it also seems a bit confusing because Microsoft’s chatbot “companion” is used across multiple apps, including Microsoft 365, Edge, Windows and more – some free, some not.
Bing Chat Enterprise also rebranded. In addition to Bing DB to Data Chat, Bing Chat Enterprise is also rebranded simply as Copilot. It offers the same chat functionality with greater commercial data protection for those signed in with a Microsoft Entra ID.
Google has released a new robots.txt report within Google Search Console. Google also made relevant information around robots.txt available from within the Page indexing report in Search Console. Finally, Google has decided to sunset the robots.txt tester.
The new robots.txt report. Google’s new robots.txt report shows gives you some information Google has on your robots.txt file including:
Which robots.txt files Google found for the top 20 hosts on your site
Plus any warnings or errors encountered.
Google also added to this report the ability request a recrawl of a robots.txt file for emergency situations, Google said.
