Build lightweight apps within Microsoft 365 Copilot Pages
Applies To
Last updated: April 2026
Microsoft 365 Copilot Pages lets you create, edit, and preview runnable code directly inside a page, which is ideal for quick prototypes or lightweight apps. When you’re ready for advanced features, you can hand off your work to App Builder without losing context or formatting.

Start in Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat
-
Sign in to microsoft365.com with your work or school account.
-
In Copilot Chat, select the Work or Web tab. The best choice depends on your goal:​​​​​​​
-
Use the Work tab when your app should use your organization's data (for example: documents, meetings, or internal workflows).
-
Use the Web tab when you want to explore ideas, generate prototypes, or use general knowledge from the web.
-
-
Describe the app you want to build in natural language. Include words like app, interactive, or UI to trigger code generation. For example:
Create an interactive, in-memory-only app to evaluate vendors after each project. The app should allow users to rate vendors on criteria such as delivery time, quality, and communication. Each evaluation should be associated with a specific project and reviewer. -
Select Send.
Copilot automatically generates a code-enabled Copilot Page side-by-side.
Preview and refine your app
-
Use the Preview toggle to interact with your app.
-
Continue chatting with Copilot to refine behavior, UI, and logic. Iterate until the app meets your needs.
Create a full app (optional)
-
When you're ready to move beyond a prototype, select Create app.
-
Continue development in App Builder.
Tips for a smooth handoffÂ
-
Keep your code modular: Smaller, well-structured snippets transfer more cleanly.
-
Validate before handoff: Run your code on the Copilot page to catch errors early.
-
Use consistent naming: Avoid confusion during import for variables and components.
