Sharing with Copilot summary – Now supporting PowerPoint, Excel, PDFs, Images, .txt, and protected files
Sharing with Copilot summary now supports more file types, including PowerPoint, Excel, PDFs, images, and text files, as well as protected files. These enhancements will roll out from mid-May to mid-June 2025. Users can generate file summaries via the Copilot button, included in share notification emails. We’re excited to announce two major enhancements to sharing files with Copilot Summary: Broader file types and endpoint support: Sharing with Copilot summary now supports more file types, including PowerPoint web, Excel web, PDF, images, and text (.txt) files, across OneDrive web, SharePoint Document Library, and M365 File Previewer. Support for protected files: Files labeled as protected or confidential can now be summarized. This is especially valuable for customers that apply a default sensitive label to all documents, enabling them to use this feature while keeping data protected at all times. These enhancements represent a significant step forward in broadening access to capabilities and making sharing more collaborative and impactful in daily collaboration. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 490156 When this will happen: General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin rolling out mid-May 2025 and expect to complete by mid-June 2025. How this affects your organization: When sharing Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, image (.png, .jpeg), or text (.txt) files via the web, users will have the option to generate a file summary by clicking the Copilot button inside the share dialog. The generated summary will be automatically included in the share notification email sent to the intended recipients.
