You can ask Copilot to help you create your best work. Coaching with Copilot supports you as you review content for improvements that go beyond grammar and spelling—helping you clarify ideas and giving you suggestions about additions, organization, a good tone for your audience, and more. You control what changes to make, and the suggestions are separate from your content so that nothing gets overwritten.

It's quick and easy to get feedback, and you can choose whether Copilot reviews your entire document, or just a highlighted section. Maybe you wrote a strong explanation, but it feels like something might be missing. You can highlight the explanation and select Get coaching. You might get a suggestion to add a call to action and you can then decide whether that's best for your audience.

Note: This feature is currently only available in Word for the web.
