Commercial customers can now leverage Copilot in OneNote to boost their productivity on iPad and Mac

Don’t have it yet? It’s probably us, not you.
Features are released over some time to ensure things are working smoothly. We highlight features that you may not have because they’re slowly releasing to larger numbers of Insiders. Sometimes we remove elements to further improve them based on your feedback. Though this is rare, we also reserve the option to pull a feature entirely out of the product, even if you, as an Insider, have had the opportunity to try it.

- Mac: Use the thumbs up/thumbs down button in Copilot or select the Feedback button at the top of the app to submit your thoughts about this feature.
- iPad: Use the thumbs up/thumbs down button in Copilot or go to Settings > Send Feedback to give us your input.
