[Introduction:]
We're introducing the ability to use Microsoft 365 Copilot directly from the OneDrive activity center on macOS. This update enables users to perform Copilot actions-such as summarizing documents, generating FAQs, and asking questions-by selecting a file and clicking the vertical ellipsis. This enhancement brings Copilot closer to where users work, helping them extract insights and take action faster.
[When this will happen:]
