Details:

Sections with Copilot is a new SharePoint authoring tool that allows users to create full-fidelity SharePoint sections with just a prompt. It works by first looking at the context of your page to offer prompt suggestions for what content you need next to offer a starting point. Next, you either select one of those starting points or write your own and optionally ground in a relevant file. Once you click generate, Sections with Copilot then leverages the knowledge and content already inside of your organization and on your page to create rich sections that go beyond just image and text. This could mean meeting transcripts, recent documents, or any other knowledge Copilot has access to, added to an existing page with a click of a button. If the output section isn't quite right, you can then use AI refinement to make changes to both the content and layout of your section, without ever touching our traditional authoring tools. Some examples include "change the background image", "add John Smith's contact information", or "make the text more professional". You can also get different suggestions by clicking "regenerate" and then choosing your favorite one to refine further. With Sections with Copilot, you can create content faster than ever before, no matter your SharePoint skill level.

Imagine you're working on a big puzzle, and you've got a helper who knows exactly where each piece should go. This helper is like the new SharePoint tool called Sections with Copilot. It's designed to make creating sections on a SharePoint page as easy as having a conversation.

When you're building a SharePoint page, you might not always know what to add next. Sections with Copilot acts like a friendly assistant, suggesting what content could fit best based on what's already on your page. It's like having a personal assistant who knows your preferences and can suggest the next piece of the puzzle.

You start by either choosing from Copilot's suggestions or typing in your own ideas. Think of it like telling your helper what kind of puzzle piece you're looking for. Then, with a simple click, Copilot uses its understanding of your organization's information to create a section that fits perfectly. This could include things like meeting notes or recent documents, seamlessly added to your page.

If the section isn't quite right, you can easily tweak it. It's like telling your helper to swap out a puzzle piece for a better fit. You can change the background, add someone's contact info, or make the text sound more formal, all without diving into complex tools.

And if you're still not satisfied, you can ask Copilot to try again, offering new suggestions until you find the perfect match. This makes the process of building your SharePoint page quicker and easier, no matter how familiar you are with the platform. It's like having a puzzle expert by your side, making sure every piece falls into place smoothly.
