How to write a draft with the Microsoft 365 Copilot app 

1. In the Microsoft 365 Copilot app, select the Create module from the navigation pane on the left.​​​​​​​

2. Select Write a draft. If you don't see it, select More... from the menu.

3. Select Description to tell Copilot what kind of draft you'd like to create. For example:

   Write a project update for my leadership team about our monthly sales performance. Include key metrics, upcoming milestones, challenges, and solutions.

   If you have a document that reflects the style or format you're aiming for, select Add a file and direct Copilot to use it as a reference.

   Tips: 

   • Not sure where to start? Browse suggested types of documents under Write a document with Copilot and select one. Copilot will pre-populate the description with a prompt that generates a similar document, and you can just substitute in the details of what your document should be.

   • You can also browse a variety of templates under Start with a template.

4. Select Style and choose the type of writing style you'd like for your document, such as straightforward, inspiring, or persuasive.

5. Select Audience if you want to specify a type of audience, such as executive leadership, my team, or customers.

6. Select Length to choose one or more paragraphs or pages.

7. Select Create.
