Deploy a Microsoft Copilot Studio copilot as a SharePoint component with single sign-on (SSO) enabled

[DBarwick]

I have followed the guidance on GitHub for deployment - https://github.com/microsoft/CopilotStudioSamples/blob/master/SharePointSSOComponent/SETUP.md

This issue I have is that the app will not install on the site

Error message

The content database on the server is temporarily unavailable.

I have also tested with no changes made to the elements.xml file but same error

Any help appreciated

Based on the error, it actually seems you are using a modified version of element.xml

Maybe it would be easier to use the pre-built package and modify the app's properties post deployment?
