The rollout date has been adjusted to late November 2026, indicating the update is still in progress. The change introduces a new Copilot skill in PowerPoint with no admin action required, meaning minimal configuration work. End users in customer-facing roles will notice the new feature as it enhances content creation, but the impact is functional rather than disruptive. Urgency is moderate as the release is already underway and requires awareness rather than intervention.

Updated November 3, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. 

[What and why]

We are introducing a new Copilot skill in PowerPoint, Prepare customer review deck, that helps users create recurring customer-facing business review (QBR) presentations focused on goals, outcomes, adoption, risks, commitments, and next steps.

[Rollout schedule]

[Impact on your organization]

Platforms and services

  • PowerPoint for Windows (Win32), Mac, and web.
  • Copilot in PowerPoint.

What will happen

  • Users will be able to use a scenario-specific Copilot skill to create customer business review presentation drafts.
  • The skill can help customer-facing teams prepare QBR-style materials faster.

[Action required and recommendations]

No admin action is required. We recommend that you inform sales and customer-facing teams that this new skill is becoming available in PowerPoint for Windows (Win32), Mac, and web.

[Compliance considerations]

Does the change alter how existing customer data is processed, stored, or accessed (e.g., documents, emails, chats, etc.)?

  • No. This update adds a scenario-specific authoring skill in PowerPoint and does not introduce new customer data storage or change existing Microsoft 365 data handling pipelines.

Does the change introduce or significantly modify AI/ML or agent capabilities that interact with or provide access to customer data?

  • No. The change does not introduce a new AI system-of-record; it provides a new entry point/experience within existing Copilot in PowerPoint capabilities.

Does the change provide end users any new way of interacting with generative AI?

  • No. Users continue to interact through existing Copilot in PowerPoint experiences.
