Coaching with Copilot is a new Copilot capability in Word to support you as you review content for improvements that go beyond grammar and spelling—helping you clarify ideas and giving you suggestions to increase the impact of your writing with additions, organization, style and tone, supporting information, and more. Coaching with Copilot helps you review and rewrite your content so that it is clearer and more effective, to better engage your audience and to give you confidence that your writing reflects your best work.
You control what changes to make, and the suggestions are separate from your content so that nothing gets overwritten.
It's quick and easy to get feedback, and you can choose whether Copilot reviews your entire document, or just a highlighted section. Maybe you wrote a strong explanation, but it feels like something might be missing. You can highlight the explanation and select Get coaching. You might get a suggestion to add a call to action and you can then decide whether that's best for your audience.
How it works
1. Highlight a section of text or the entire document Screenshot of Copilot in Word quick actions menu showing Get Coaching button.
Note: Copilot will expand your selection if you select less than the required minimum.
2. Select the Copilot icon in the document and select Get coaching.
3. Select the arrows to scroll through and review the suggestions.
