Summarize your files with Copilot

With Copilot in OneDrive, you can generate summaries for files stored on OneDrive without the need to open them individually. Whether it's Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, PDFs, or Word documents – including those shared with you or by you – you can conveniently summarize the contents of single or multiple files with ease. 

1. Go to http://onedrive.com and sign in with your work or school account.

2. You can summarize one file or multiple files at a time by following these steps​​​​​​​:​​​​​​​

   • Summarize a single file: Hover over a supported file, select the Copilot button and then click on Summarize. 

   • Summarize multiple files: Select up to 5 files, click on the Copilot button in the command bar, and then select Summarize.

3. The Copilot panel will appear and begin to generate a summary. 

4. You can now select Ask a question ​​​​​​​and ask more custom questions or further customize your summaries from the chat pane. 

You can also generate a summary by mentioning a specific topic and make it as simple or complex as you like, such as “Create a summary on the total sales of produce in January. List the sales of seasonal fruits and vegetables in a separate section from the sales of year-round produce.”
