(Updated) Copilot can edit your presentation in PowerPoint for the web [MC1219792]

Message ID: MC1219792 (Updated)

Updated March 9, 2026: We have updated the content. Thank you for your patience. 

[Introduction]

Copilot in PowerPoint lets you create, edit, and refine presentations through natural conversation, directly in your presentation. You can start a new presentation or build on an existing one, asking Copilot to generate slides, update content, improve layouts, and polish design—while preserving formatting, structure, and branding. Available to Microsoft 365 users.

For Microsoft 365 Copilot-licensed users, Copilot can also connects to your brand kit so you can apply branded templates, insert brand‑approved images, and check for brand compliance.
