Microsoft PowerPoint: Review sales pipeline Copilot skill
Message ID: MC1529477
[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 will begin in late October 2026 and is expected to complete by early November 2026.
[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.
