explanation for non-techies**
Microsoft Outlook is set to introduce a new design for its Copilot Compose feature, which will be available across various platforms, including Windows and Mac desktops, the web, and Android/iOS devices. This update is scheduled to begin rolling out in late September 2024 and should be completed by late November 2024. Users who have a Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 license will automatically receive this update without needing any administrative action.
Think of this update like a car getting a fresh coat of paint. The engine and all the internal workings remain the same, but the exterior looks sleeker and more modern. In this case, the functionality of Copilot Compose will remain unchanged, but the design will be updated to provide a more polished and lightweight user interface. This means that while the way you use the feature will stay the same, the experience will feel more refined and visually appealing.
For organizations, it's a good idea to inform users about this upcoming change so they are not caught off guard by the new look. This is similar to letting employees know about a new office layout; while their workstations and tasks remain the same, the environment around them will look different. Keeping everyone informed helps ensure a smooth transition and allows users to adjust to the new design without any disruption to their workflow.
