Email References in Copilot for PowerPoint

Copilot in PowerPoint can now build slides from an email you point it at.

Details

Copilot in PowerPoint previously could not pull from email at all, so email content had to be moved over by hand
An email is referenced by its subject, its senders, or the time frame or date it was sent, from the Copilot pane during presentation creation
Microsoft 365 permissions and security controls still apply to which emails Copilot can read
Available on Windows only. Roadmap ID 555888

Best for

Turning a thread that already contains the substance into a deck without retyping it.

When to use it

The content for the deck is sitting in an email and copying it across is where errors creep in.

Who benefits

Anyone who builds decks out of client or internal email threads.
