2. Type Create a presentation from "use the file" then it will prompt a message "Creating a new presentation will replace your existing slides, so you may want to save a copy first. Do you want me to make changes?" Then click yes
Hi Ankur, thanks for your reply. Much appreciated. I tried it but did not get the desired result. This is what happened:
My prompt: Change this presentation using the powerpoint template [url to POTX on SharePoint]
Copilot "Creating a new presentation will replace your existing slides, so you may want to save a copy first. Do you want me to make changes?"
My prompt: Yes, please
Copilot "Sorry, I can’t do that just yet. For now, I can only create a presentation from a Word or PDF document. Start typing the name of a file, or copy and paste a link, and I’ll make some slides for you to edit."
I also tried with other wordings like Rebrand, Rebuild.

- This is great for creating NEW presentations, however it does not help for rebranding/rebuilding/changing an EXISTING presentation. Tx anyway for your feedback!
