Where This Fits in a Workflow

Wrapping up your learning journey with Copilot Pro is just the beginning. Now that you know how to access and use Copilot in the key Microsoft 365 apps, you can apply these new skills anytime you need to automate writing, analyze data, or craft presentations. For example, after planning a project in Word and organizing data in Excel, you could use Copilot to automatically generate a summary PowerPoint. Staying aware of ongoing updates ensures you can quickly try new features when they arrive, keeping your workflow current and effective.

Technical & Workflow Benefits

Before Copilot Pro, tasks like drafting reports, compiling data analyses, or building presentations were fully manual, often taking hours and requiring lots of switching between resources. Now, Copilot’s AI integration shortens these workflows by handling the heavy lifting—drafting content based on prompts, streamlining edits, or suggesting layouts in seconds. This is especially helpful for business reports or class assignments, where you save time while maintaining high quality. As Copilot Pro’s features grow, these benefits will only increase, making it easier to focus on the thinking and creativity behind your work instead of repetitive tasks.

Practice Exercise

To reinforce your course learning, select a recent project or assignment you’ve worked on—such as a memo, spreadsheet, or presentation.

1. Open the relevant Microsoft 365 app (Word, Excel, or PowerPoint) and use Copilot Pro to revise or extend your original work.
2. Ask Copilot to suggest improvements or generate new sections, such as a summary in Word, a data insight in Excel, or a slide outline in PowerPoint.
3. Compare the AI-supported version with your manual effort.
   Which approach helped you work faster or produce a better result? Reflect on where Copilot made the biggest difference.
