Copilot Pages: Work side by side with AI
When you’re working with Microsoft Copilot to create a business document, you might find yourself torn between two opposing instincts. Part of you is itching to edit its output right away, while another part wants to keep prompting the AI assistant to refine the generated text. Turns out you can do both. The Pages feature in the M365 Copilot app is a dynamic text editor that works in a window…
Microsoft Copilot Pages enables users to work alongside AI while creating business documents. This feature, found within the M365 Copilot app, presents a dynamic text editor that operates alongside the AI chat. The AI's response can be transformed into a permanent document ("page") that can be manually edited while ongoing collaboration with Copilot remains possible. Collaborative work is also facilitated, allowing users to share the page or embed it within other documents like Word, Outlook email, OneNote, or Teams chats.
To utilize the Pages tool, one must have a paid Microsoft 365 plan, as it does not necessitate a separate Copilot license. Contrary to some confusion, there is a lower-end free Copilot app, but it lacks the full features of the Pages tool in the M365 Copilot app. The process to create a Copilot page starts with opening the Copilot Chat interface on microsoft365.com, initiating a Copilot chat, and then crafting a request for AI.
When satisfied with the AI's output, such as an action item list or marketing plan outline, one can convert it into a document by clicking the pencil (Edit in Pages) icon at the bottom of the result. This action divides the screen into two windows, with the chat on the left and the document on the right. The document's name can be given at the top-left, and each text element on the canvas (paragraphs, headings, bullet points, etc.) can be edited, formatted, moved, or deleted as required.
