Full Explanation
The Microsoft 365 Copilot usage report, found in the Microsoft 365 admin center under Reports > Usage, provides workload-level adoption details showing active users and usage trends for individual Microsoft 365 applications, including Teams, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, Excel, and Copilot Chat. The report includes 7-day, 28-day, and 90-day trend data, allowing administrators to assess adoption over time and identify which workloads are seeing the highest engagement. This is the primary tool for tracking Copilot adoption across the organization and presenting data to leadership.
Option A, Microsoft Viva Insights, provides employee experience and productivity analytics, including some Copilot usage data through the Copilot Dashboard. While Viva Insights is valuable for individual and team-level productivity insights, the question specifically asks about workload-level (app-by-app) adoption details and trend data, which is most clearly surfaced in the M365 admin center usage reports.
Option C, the Copilot Control System adoption score section, provides a higher-level adoption scoring and benchmarking capability. However, the granular workload-level breakdown (Copilot in Teams vs. Word vs. Outlook with 90-day trends) is specifically available in the M365 admin center usage reports, not just in the Control System.
Option D, Microsoft Defender portal cloud app activity, is a security monitoring tool that tracks application access and data flows for threat detection. It is not designed for Copilot adoption reporting or workload-level usage analysis.
Exam tip: The Microsoft 365 admin center Reports > Usage > Microsoft 365 Copilot usage report is the go-to for workload-level adoption details. Know that it breaks down usage by individual M365 apps (Teams, Word, Outlook, etc.) and provides trend data across standard reporting periods.
