Overview
What PowerPoint is
PowerPoint is the presentation editor and delivery format; Copilot can help build a deck from a prompt or supported source file. The slides remain editable, so a team can apply its branding and validate the narrative after generation.
For a first workflow, specify the audience, purpose, source material, and slide structure. Create the deck manually or use eligible Copilot features. Check data, text overflow, images, and speaker notes before presenting.
