[Introduction]
We’re improving how users get started with Copilot in PowerPoint for Windows by enabling presentation creation powered by Copilot directly from PowerPoint Home in the File menu. This update reduces friction at the start of the workflow, helping users move from idea to first draft faster without needing to open a new file.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 560536.
[When this will happen:]
General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout begins in late May 2026.
[How this affects your organization:]

What will happen:
- Users will find a new option on PowerPoint Home (File menu) to create a presentation using Copilot.
- The experience is available immediately when PowerPoint is opened.
- The feature is enabled by default for eligible users.
- Existing Microsoft 365 and Copilot policies are respected; no admin configuration changes are required.
[What you can do to prepare:]
- No action is required.
- Consider informing users about this new Copilot capability.
[Compliance considerations:]
