explanation for non-techies**

SharePoint is getting a new feature called "Sections with AI," which will be available from September to November 2025. This feature uses a tool called Copilot to help you create parts of a SharePoint page by simply typing in what you want. Imagine you're writing a letter and instead of typing everything yourself, you just tell someone what you want to say, and they write it for you. That's what Sections with AI does for SharePoint pages.

With this feature, you can add a new section to your page by typing a simple instruction, like "add a summary of our latest meeting." Copilot will then look at the information your organization already has, like documents or meeting notes, and suggest content for that section. You can choose from several options it generates, just like picking the best photo from a bunch of snapshots. If you want to make changes, you can tell it to tweak things, such as making the text sound more professional or adding specific information, like someone's contact details.

The best part is that you don't need to do anything special to start using this feature. If your organization has a Copilot license, it will automatically be available. You might want to let your team know about this new tool and how it can make creating content easier and faster. It's like having a smart assistant that helps you build your SharePoint pages more efficiently, using the information you already have.
