Copilot is now available in classic Outlook for Windows
The Copilot chat experience you already enjoy in other Microsoft 365 apps is now in classic Outlook for Windows. Just select the Copilot icon in the left app bar. Now you can find information, catch up on emails and meetings, and generate content based on your work data - all without leaving Outlook. You still have the same tools as before to draft and summarize emails, and get coaching by Copilot. For more information, see the post in the Outlook Blog.

Prepare your meeting audience by adding an agenda to your presentation
Give your audience the main points of your PowerPoint presentation up front. Just ask Copilot to add an agenda slide and it's done.
Ask Copilot, "Add an agenda slide."
Fine tune your Teams messages to communicate more effectively
Want to spruce up your Teams chat and channel messages? Compose a draft message in a channel or chat, and then use Copilot in Teams to create automatic edits. Select the Copilot button in the message window, and then select Rewrite or Adjust to make the message longer or shorter, or to adjust the tone to be more casual, professional, confident, or enthusiastic.
Create brochures or newsletters from multiple files
You can draft content in Word based on another Word doc or a PowerPoint presentation by simply telling Copilot in Word to reference it when you create the new document. Now you can reference up to three Word or PowerPoint files to use as sources for your new document. Note, however, that you need to have permission to access the referenced files in your organization's SharePoint or OneDrive.
Ask Copilot, "Draft content combining /[file name], /[file name], and /[file name]."
Improvements based on your feedback
Easily compare multiple contracts, proposals, or documents
Have you been looking for better collaboration and review, quality control, and version control with documents in your workflow? You can now have Copilot compare two referenced documents and show the difference between them.
Ask Copilot, "Compare /[file1] and /[file2] and list the differences between them."
Reference and explore PDF files
If you've been waiting for Copilot to access your PDF files, the wait is over. Now Copilot treats the content of your PDF files like any other file.
Ask Copilot, "Summarize /[PDF]." Or “Compare /[PDF1] and /[PDF2] and list the differences between them.”
