Using Copilot Pages with Microsoft Copilot

How Copilot Pages can help

Working with Pages starts with a Copilot response. For example, you may ask Copilot one of the following questions: 

• “I just got asked to manage my law school study group's schedule and study plan. I'm trying to juggle everyone's schedule and make sure we cover everything we need to. Can you help me make a plan?”

• “I can’t figure out how to start my video script about Best Hostels in Vietnam. I’m feeling creatively blocked. Can you help me create an intro and an outline so I can get some momentum?”

• “I’m graduating later year and moving to take a new job in Austin, Texas. Can you help me create a checklist of things I need to do?”

Copilot will likely respond with an outline. This is a good start, but you’ll want to do more work on this. Just below Copilot’s response, select Edit this response.

Copilot will bring the outline into Pages, where you can do the following: 

• Write or edit the content yourself. Pages supports rich text editing and formatting. You can rewrite sections on your own, add bold or italics, or insert your own bullet points.

• Co-write and iterate with Copilot. Ask Copilot follow up questions to expand on or improve all or just portions of the content. For example, you could ask Copilot to simplify, rewrite, expand, or improve the grammar or tone.

If you leave a page, you can come back to it at any time and continue working on it. 

Creating a new Page in Copilot

1. To start editing a Copilot response in Pages, select Edit this response  at the bottom of the response.

   Note: You must sign in to Copilot to create a Page. If you are not signed in at this point, Copilot will prompt you to do so.

2. Copilot will ask if you want to Create a new page. You can also select an existing page to add the response to.

Pages are automatically named based on the first line of text. You can rename the page by selecting the Page title and typing in a new name. 

Editing a Page 

Once you have created or opened a page, you can start editing the content directly. Any changes you make are saved automatically.

Formatting changes are made by highlighting text and selecting formatting changes from the toolbar. Pages support the following types of formatting: 

• Bold, italics, and underline to text

• Bullets and ordered numbering

• Multiple levels of headings

• Links

• Code snippets

In Pages, you can also ask Copilot for help writing or editing. 

1. Place your cursor or highlight the text you want to work on and select Ask in the toolbar.

2. A Copilot chat window will open where you can ask Copilot questions about the text, as well as ask for help writing (or re-writing) it. This conversation with Copilot remains with your Page.

3. Pages will bring up a panel showing any proposed revisions to the highlighted section. Select Apply Revision to accept the changes or Reject to discard them.

Finding your Pages

1. Open the conversation history panel to see recent Pages you have created.

2. If the Page you created isn’t on this list, select Show all pages to see a full list of Pages you have created.

3. Selecting the Page you want to open.
