summary for non-techies**
Microsoft Copilot in Microsoft 365 was intended to include a feature for summarizing selected text in documents, but development was halted as it duplicated another planned feature.
Direct effects for Operations**
Change in Document Summary Functionality
Removal of the ability to summarize only selected text may lead to user frustration as they will have to sift through larger amounts of text to find relevant information, impacting productivity.
