From the course: Copilot in PowerPoint: From Prompt to Presentation
Summarize a presentation
- [Instructor] Sometimes you receive a large presentation and need to quickly retrieve some facts or information from the slides. Copilot can save you time with that. You can use it to summarize a deck, show action items, or perhaps call out key slides for review. I've opened a Globe Bank presentation that Copilot drafted from a file. I'll open Copilot from the top right of the home ribbon, and at the top of the Copilot pane, I'll choose summarize this presentation. You'll see some process comments while Copilot is working, and it's quickly returned a summary of the deck with four main ideas. I'll scroll back up so you can see them. Next to each main idea are some small numbers. These are references to the slides where Copilot pulled the information from. Scrolling down, you see there's a copy button. You can copy this summary, paste it into a document, or maybe on a new slide. Below that is a disclaimer reminding us to fact check Copilot's work for accuracy, and further down is seven references. I'll expand this and you'll see that Copilot has included the reference slides that it's used for the summary text. I can expand any one of these. When I select the slide title, it will automatically switch to that slide in editing view. The note has been expanded to show you the text that Copilot referenced for the summary.
