Microsoft is launching a revamped version of Microsoft 365 Copilot, offering a cleaner design that the company claims loads twice as fast. As part of this update, Copilot will provide more reliable and structured responses that are easier to scan, according to Microsoft.
The redesign, which is rolling out across desktop and mobile devices, comes with a feature Microsoft calls “progressive disclosure.” That means Copilot will present you with tools and controls based on your prompt, instead of showing a bunch of options at once. You can now format your text directly inside Copilot’s upgraded prompt box as well, which will expand to fit everything you type or paste in.
Inside Microsoft 365 apps, Copilot opens within a side panel, where it can answer questions, or suggest and make changes to your document. You can also open up a chat window from within a paragraph, spreadsheet cell, or slide.
