(Updated) Use Microsoft Copilot in Word to create, edit, and transform content directly from chat [MC1129126]

Message ID: MC1129126 (Updated)

Updated December 22, 2025: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.

Introduction

We’re introducing Agent Mode in Microsoft 365 Copilot in Word that enhance how users interact with Copilot to create and refine content. These updates are designed to streamline document creation and editing through a more conversational and iterative experience. 

This message is associated with Roadmap ID 499428

When this will happen

General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout will begin November 17th 2025 (previously October 2025) and is expected to complete by early January 2026 (previously early December 2025).

How this affects your organization

Users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license will be able to use Agent Mode to make native changes directly on the Word canvas, like drafting new documents or sections, reorganizing content into formats like FAQs, updating existing content, or rewriting sections. Users will maintain control on the content as they will be able to review and approve any changes.  

What you can do to prepare

No admin action is required for this rollout. We recommend informing users about Agent Mode in Word and encouraging them to explore the new capability. Additional resources and documentation will be available closer to rollout. 

Compliance considerations

No compliance considerations identified, review as appropriate for your organization.
