[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.
