For example,

00:00:08

to create a summary text about a document.

00:00:11

Here I have a document dealing with the issue of global warming,

00:00:15

and I would like to summarize its contents.

00:00:17

To do this,

00:00:18

in the co-pilot panel,

00:00:20

I will either use the paper clip icon

00:00:23

or type the symbol slash to open the content referencing box.

00:00:27

In this box,

00:00:28

I can access files,

00:00:29

but also emails or meetings.

00:00:31

By entering part of the title,

00:00:33

I can find the file I am interested in,

00:00:35

as long as it is stored online.

00:00:37

For example,

00:00:38

in OneDrive or SharePoint.

00:00:40

I then state my prompt,

00:00:42

that is my request,

00:00:44

asking for a structured summary of my file's content.

00:00:48

Once the content has been generated,

00:00:51

I can rephrase the prompt.

00:00:53

Keep the suggestion,

00:00:54

regenerate another version,

00:00:57

delete it,

00:00:58

or,

00:00:58

as I'm about to do,

00:01:00

ask to keep the content while adding

00:01:02

a paragraph about the evolution of temperatures.

00:01:05

Here I am asking co-pilot to generate a section about how to reduce temperatures.

00:01:11

The generated text content is now finalized.

00:01:14

This principle applies to other types of documents,

00:01:17

such as PDF or PowerPoint presentations,

00:01:21

but you can also use emails or meetings.

00:01:24

Co-pilot can truly be considered a tool to help

00:01:27

with synthesizing and writing documents effortlessly and quickly.
