Microsoft revamps M365 Copilot chatbot with Pages shared ‘canvas’ – Computerworld

“Pages takes ephemeral AI-generated content and makes it durable, so you can edit it, add to it, and share it with others,” said Jared Spataro, Microsoft corporate vice president. “You and your team can work collaboratively in a page with Copilot, seeing everyone’s work in real time and iterating with Copilot like a partner, adding more content from your data, files, and the web to your Page.”

Copilot Pages will be available later this month for M365 Copilot customers and via the free-to-use Copilot, provided users are signed in with a Microsoft Entra account — Microsoft’s identity and access management system. 

Microsoft also announced updates to Copilot in various M365 apps, including the general availability of the M365 Copilot in Excel; it had been in beta since the M365 Copilot launch last November. Updates in Excel include the ability for the assistant to access data that hasn’t been formatted in a table; support for additional formulas, such as XLOOKUP and SUMIF; and the ability to work with text as well as numerical data.
