Designer tools in Copilot
Designer tools in Copilot, rolling out from mid-February to early April 2026, provide users with enhanced controls to refine prompts and adjust visuals in image creation across Microsoft 365. Enabled by default, no admin changes are needed, and existing policies remain in effect.

Designer tools help users refine prompts, adjust visual outputs, and iterate more effectively—reducing trial and error and improving the quality of generated visuals.
