Create and improve presentations in PowerPoint

- [Instructor] In PowerPoint, Copilot can draft new slides or make improvements to existing presentations. From the welcome screen, I'll start a new blank presentation. You should make sure you're in the Home ribbon and you'll see the Copilot button on the right side of the Home ribbon. Click that to open the Copilot panel. Click get started, and from here you can type a request in the chat field at the bottom or you can try one of these suggested prompts. If you choose create a presentation, for example, it will put that in the chat field below but you'll still have to type in the rest of your request. You'll need to describe the presentation that you wanted to draft. Or another option is to start by providing a document that you already have. You could choose or type in, transform a file, that puts that into the chat field, but to finish the request, you have to put in a link to the file. It has to be a Word file, and you have to have it stored on OneDrive or SharePoint. Now, you could go to the OneDrive website, or in my case I have OneDrive set up on my computer so I can go to File Explorer and navigate to a folder that is stored inside of my linked OneDrive. From here, I can select a file. Then right click on that file, and if it is stored on OneDrive, you'll see the share option, select that, then click the button to copy the link. With that link copied, you can go back to PowerPoint, back to that chat field and use the keyboard shortcut, Control + V, to paste that link in. Then hit the return key or click the send button and give it some time to generate the draft. So that made a new presentation using the information from the Word document that I provided. As always, think of this as a starting point to give you ideas for your presentation. Even if the information is not quite right, the design or the layout may give you a good start. Copilot can also help you add individual slides. I want to add a slide after slide number three, so I'll select slide number three, then go to the Copilot panel, and I could type in or use a pre-made prompt that says, "Add a slide about," then finish typing in the rest of the request. So I want to add a slide about choosing a financial planner. I'll type that in, then hit the return key and after a moment, it generates that new slide. So take a look at the text to see if you can revise the draft for your needs. But even if the text is not right this is usually a great way to get a picture or layout for your slide. Now finally, I'm going to open another, much longer presentation that's already built so we can use Copilot to modify an existing presentation. With the presentation open, go to the Home ribbon, then click the Copilot button to open the Copilot panel and then click get started, and you may see a pre-made prompt for something like summarizing the presentation. If not, you can type that into the chat box. Or maybe you have a long presentation with lots of slides and you want to add some organization. So you may see that prompt, or you could type in "Organize this presentation." And when that's finished, you can look at your list of slides over on the left, and you'll see that they are now organized in sections. These sections are defined by the content in your slides and you can click the arrow next to each section to open or close it. So try these options or experiment with your own prompts to make new presentations or improve the presentations you already have.
