summary for non-techies**
PowerPoint's new feature, available in May 2025 for Mac and Desktop users and mid-June 2025 for Web users, allows users to guide Copilot, an AI tool, to select specific templates from an Office Template Library for creating presentations that align with their brand.
Direct effects for Operations**
Template Availability
If the Office Template Library is not set up properly before the rollout, users will not have access to the enterprise templates needed for on-brand presentations, leading to inconsistent branding.
