Microsoft updated Bing Search Copilot by relocating the sources section beneath a "read more" tab and applying a two-column layout. The first two visible lines use a very faint font color, reducing immediate readability. The collapsed source area expands on mouseover to reveal additional links. The layout reproduces across multiple browsers, indicating a broad rollout rather than a limited experiment. The reduced prominence of source links may lower direct click-throughs to publishers unless users actively expand the "read more" area. The net effect on publisher traffic remains uncertain and may depend on user behavior changes.
Microsoft has updated the Bing Search Copilot AI answer design to move the sources section under a "read more" tab, which I assume Microsoft is testing to see if it drives more or fewer clicks to publishers.
Bing is testing a new design for AI answers. This time, it's a two-column setup. However, the font color of the first two lines is so faint that it's virtually invisible.
Here is what it looks like, I can replicate this across all browsers, which makes me think this is fully live and not a test:
