(Updated) Microsoft PowerPoint: Review sales pipeline Copilot skill
Message ID: MC1529477 (Updated)

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, Review sales pipeline, that helps users create or refresh internal pipeline and forecast review presentations focused on opportunity movement, risks, and next actions.

[Rollout schedule]

  • General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout began late October 2026 and is expected to complete by late November 2026 (previously early November).

[Impact on your organization]

Who is affected

  • Users with access to Copilot in PowerPoint.

Platforms and services

  • Microsoft 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 or refresh internal pipeline and forecast review presentation drafts.
  • The skill helps users review opportunities, pipeline movement, risks, and next actions for recurring sales management discussions.

[Action required and recommendations]

No admin action is required. We recommend that you inform sales managers and PowerPoint Copilot users that this new skill is becoming available in PowerPoint on 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.
