explanation for non-techies**

Imagine you're working on a complex legal case or managing a large team project. You have numerous documents, emails, and notes scattered across different platforms. It can be overwhelming to keep track of everything and ensure that nothing falls through the cracks. This is where Microsoft Copilot comes in, acting like a personal assistant who helps organize and streamline your workflow.

Think of Copilot as a highly efficient secretary who knows exactly when to step in and assist you. When you're in the middle of a task and need to consolidate information or draft a new document, Copilot Chat can automatically create a new Page for you. It's like having someone who can instantly set up a new file folder on your desk with all the necessary materials you need, right when you need them.

This Page appears side-by-side with your current work, allowing you to edit, steer, and share information seamlessly. It's akin to having a dual monitor setup where you can view and work on multiple documents simultaneously without losing focus. This setup helps you make quick adjustments, collaborate with colleagues, and share updates efficiently.

In essence, Microsoft Copilot helps you manage your workload by creating an organized space for your tasks, much like a well-organized filing cabinet that automatically arranges itself based on your immediate needs. This feature enhances productivity by reducing the time spent searching for information and allowing you to focus on what truly matters.
