- amandarcombsCopper ContributorIf you ask CoPilot to create a PowerPoint, can you control the template it uses for branding consistency?

You can create a power point from a file using a pre-defined theme/template, and Copilot will ask you if you want to create a draft based on that template or not. - Bipin-prakashBrass ContributorI believe, you might need to create a new presentation with the branding in a slide and then have copilot simply populate the content. It might not also extend to additional slides that might be created. So, you might have to iterate at the end where you need to apply the background or other custom graphics across multiple slides.
- Bipin-prakashBrass ContributorI have not had much luck with Copilot for M365 being able to traverse different emails to look for specific info. Eg: What was the invoice total for my last order from Dell.com. I had to iterate a couple of times and finally was able to get Copilot to pull up the email and had to ascertain the response myself. Can you speak of initiatives to make the grounding process better?

Thanks for this feedback. We're constantly working on improving the prompting and search relevance to find the right content and amount of content to summarize. Submitting feedback with the thumbs down will help us debug the issues and improve. Copilot tries to find the most relevant content based on what you ask, so iterating on your prompts is a great way to get what you are looking for. The session on prompting will be useful: https://aka.ms/Accelerate/CopilotSkills
