summary for non-techies**
Starting in May 2025, PowerPoint users will be able to choose from organizational or Microsoft templates with Copilot to ensure presentations align with company branding or achieve a professional look, provided the Office Template Library is set up with enterprise templates.
Direct effects for Operations**
Template Availability
If the Office Template Library is not set up or enterprise templates are not uploaded, users will not have access to the necessary templates for on-brand presentations, leading to inconsistent branding and design issues in presentations.
