Getting Started with Copilot in PowerPoint

Learn how Copilot helps you draft presentations, refine content and work faster inside PowerPoint.

Beginner Copilot PowerPoint

Copilot in PowerPoint helps you create presentations with far less manual work. You can generate full slide decks from a prompt, refine your wording and extend your content without leaving the app. The workflow is designed to let you focus on the ideas and let Copilot handle the structure and draft.

Here are the three key points:

  1. Generate entire presentations with a simple prompt.
  2. Use Copilot as an assistant to refine wording, add content and answer questions.
  3. Apply inline actions to rewrite, summarise or extend text directly on the slide.

Draft complete presentations from scratch

Copilot can build a complete presentation for you. Type a short instruction such as create a presentation about our Q2 marketing strategy, then add any extra details or reference files from your Drive. Once the content looks right, select Generate and Copilot will produce the full design.

  • Helps you skip manual layout work.
  • Produces a structured deck you can immediately edit.
  • Incorporates referenced documents for richer content.

Use Copilot as your in-app assistant

The sidebar acts as your personal assistant while you work. You can ask questions about your slide content, request better wording or generate new material without switching context. It supports:

  • Suggestions for clearer phrasing.
  • Additional content for slides you want to expand.
  • Quick help while planning or structuring your deck.

It feels like having a colleague next to you who can instantly propose variations and improvements.

Refine text with inline actions

Inline actions let you improve specific text directly on the slide. Select any sentence or paragraph, then use options like Auto rewrite, Make it perfect, or provide your own prompt.

You can ask Copilot to:

  • Rewrite or summarise.
  • Convert text into a table or bullet points.
  • Continue writing from where you left off using the paragraph start button.

Copilot will always show a preview so you remain in control. You can accept, reject or adjust the tone and detail before anything is inserted.

Staying in control of your content

Every action requires confirmation. Copilot will never insert text automatically, which means you always decide how the final presentation looks. You can refine the draft, ask for alternatives or remove suggestions entirely.

Summary

  • Copilot can generate full presentations from a short prompt.
  • The sidebar works as an assistant for refining and expanding content.
  • Inline actions rewrite, summarise or extend specific text.
  • You stay in complete control because Copilot always asks for confirmation.
  • The workflow reduces manual effort and accelerates presentation creation.
