What changed:
Copilot in PowerPoint now supports source referencing during presentation creation. Previously, users could not directly incorporate live web information as source material within Copilot in PowerPoint. This update enables Copilot to gather relevant information from the web and use referenced sources while respecting web content security and privacy standards.
Why:
Source referencing helps improve presentation accuracy, relevance, and timeliness by allowing Copilot to use current online information. This reduces manual research and makes it easier to create presentations grounded in up-to-date sources.
Try this:
Open PowerPoint and start a new presentation in Copilot.
Ask Copilot to create a presentation on a topic that would benefit from current web information.
Review the generated slides and source references.
Why this matters:
Referencing web sources streamlines research and content creation, helping users create presentations with relevant, up-to-date information.
Business impact:
Teams can create presentations grounded in current web information faster, improving research efficiency, collaboration, and content quality.
Personal impact:
You save time by letting Copilot incorporate relevant web source information into your slides.
