[Introduction]
We're introducing new capabilities in Copilot Pages and Copilot Chat that enable improved connection and interactions between these two experiences. There are four main elements included in this update:

Page updates via Chat, where a prompt to modify or add to the currently-open Page will make those changes directly on the Page.
Chat can now answer questions based on the content of the open Page.
Improved on-Page Copilot interactions, including Ask Copilot for selecting content and the use of Page-level improvements via the Copilot Shortcuts experience.
[When this will happen:]
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in early October 2025 and expect to complete by early February 2026 (previously early November 2025).
