Today's exercise: Creating a presentation from your Microsoft 365 content

Imagine your manager has asked you to prepare a project update presentation for an upcoming meeting.

Rather than searching for information manually, use Copilot in PowerPoint to search your Microsoft 365 content and generate a first draft of the presentation.

Here's what you need for this exercise

Tools and inputs required:

Ready-to-use prompt

Create a presentation outline about [project or topic] using information from my Microsoft 365 content.

Search across my SharePoint sites, Teams conversations, Outlook emails and OneDrive files that I have permission to access.

Create a presentation with:

  • 8–10 slides

  • A clear title for each slide

  • 3–5 concise bullet points per slide

  • Key milestones, decisions and outcomes

  • Relevant statistics where available

  • Risks and next steps

Present the information in a logical order suitable for a management update.


☑️ Review the outline. You can continue refining the outline by prompting further e.g. "Focus on activities completed in the last three months."

Step 2: Generate the presentation

Step 3: Review & Edit

☑️ Review the presentation and continue refining with Copilot if required. Some manual editing will probably be required to get it just right.

Generated PowerPoint slides

Now it's your turn to try!

Open PowerPoint and ask Copilot to create a presentation using information from your Microsoft 365 content. Try prompts such as:

"From my M365 Content...

  • ...create a quarterly project update for Project Atlas."

  • ...summarise the work completed by the Digital Services team this year."

  • ...prepare a steering committee presentation for the AI Pilot Programme."

You'll often spend less time gathering information and more time refining the presentation for your audience.
