Overview

push and publish are two distinct steps and both are required. push uploads the new topic to the Copilot Studio cloud as a draft revision; publish (from the portal) promotes that draft so the Test pane and any deployed channels can invoke it. Skipping publish is the single most common reason the Test pane in Lab 09 does not see the Hello World topic.

Learning objectives

• Push the local agent to the Copilot Studio cloud as a draft.
• Resolve a ConcurrencyVersionMismatch if the push reports one.
• Publish the draft from the portal and confirm the success toast.

Exercise 8.1 — Push the local agent to the cloud

1. In your copilot session, run:

    @copilot-studio:copilot-studio-manage push
   

2. On first push, the sub-agent may open a browser tab for Entra ID sign-in. Tokens are cached after that.
3. Wait for the sub-agent to report success.

[!CAUTION] If the push fails with ConcurrencyVersionMismatch, your local row versions are stale. Run @copilot-studio:copilot-studio-manage pull first, reconcile any conflicts the pull surfaces, then re-run the push.

Exercise 8.2 — Switch back to the portal

1. Return to the browser tab you left open in Lab 03 on the HelloWorldAgent edit view.
2. If the tab is closed, browse to https://copilotstudio.microsoft.com, pick the correct environment in the top-right switcher, and reopen the agent.

Exercise 8.3 — Publish

1. In the top-right of the agent edit view, click Publish.
2. The portal runs a build-and-deploy and then displays a success toast.

[!IMPORTANT] push creates a draft only. The Test pane and any deployed channels invoke the published version. If you skip the publish step, Lab 09 will not see the Hello World topic.

Verification Checkpoint

Before proceeding, verify:

• @copilot-studio:copilot-studio-manage push reported success in the CLI.
• The portal Publish button reported a success toast.
• The agent edit view in the portal shows a recent successful publish timestamp.

Next Steps

Proceed to Lab 09 — Test in the portal.
