For a long time, the Copilot Assistant when invoked would open up to the right-hand side of the screen. Microsoft has probably thought that it doesn’t seem like a good idea to simply leave the assistant stuck at the right-hand side of the screen because it’s not something everyone prefers to use any app or program. So Microsoft has ensured that you can now dock and undock the Copilot sidebar on Windows 11 PCs. However, not everyone has got the feature yet. If you were looking for a way to get the Copilot sidebar moveable to any part of the screen that you like, you can now do that thanks to the trusty ViveTool. Read on to know more. A select number of users who are on the Canary and dev build of Windows 11 already have the option to dock and undock as well as move around the Copilot sidebar. But, if you do not have that feature yet, you can always force enable this feature on your Windows 11 PC.
