Use your organization's branding with Copilot in PowerPoint
Hello Members,
I’m trying to get Copilot to use the organization's template, but it's not working. It seems unable to apply the template.

Has anyone successfully used a template? If so, could you share a working one?
I appreciate your help.

I have not used it for a few months in PowerPoint, but it was not very user friendly (I am our companies lead on our copilot "trial" and so was trialling all the apps, and still am).
As oliwer_sundgren mentioned, the secret is to open a new file based on your company's template first. But I would go one step further and suggest the company PowerPoints need to be well built, and I would suggest all key template elements be added as slide masters. This stops Copilot removing branding you want to keep when you as it to create the file. One issue I had that was really annoying was I asked it to create slides without any images (because they were in the master slides) and it just totally ignored me, no matter how I phrased it. I was able to tell it to "remove all pictures", so that at least was helpful. It does need to vastly improve because time saved is lost correcting Copilot errors
- Helpful demo as well from Stuart at Microsoft. You want to open template and then delete the slides first.

To experience the best results with Copilot, follow the guidance below. You may need help from your template
creators and IT admin to modify corporate templates and publish them in your Organization Asset Library (OAL).
- Hello hemanth1595!
Yes I've managed to use my companies templates with Copilot.
The steps I did was
1: Open PowerPoint
2: Create a new presentation based on the template you want to choose.
3: Ask copilot to create a new presentation
4: Copilot will prompt you and say something like "Creating a new presentation will override the current slides, do you want me to continue?" Click yes on that
5: Let Copilot do its magic
6: Voila 🙂
Let me know if this works for you
Kind Regards
Oliwer
