Starting in the Copilot App

The Copilot app is your hub for cross-file work
It connects different file types in one workspace
Ask questions across multiple files and get combined answers instantly
Attachments get saved to OneDrive by default

Starting in the Copilot App

Attach both files, then ask one question:

Summarize the EcoGreen launch across both files in 5 bullets, and note which file each point comes from

Copilot's full five-bullet cross-file summary, each bullet naming the Word report or the Excel file it came from

Carrying it into Word

Rewrite this pasted summary as a 3-sentence executive summary, in the same tone as the rest of the report

Word turning the pasted cross-file summary into a three-sentence executive summary at the top of the EcoGreen report

Checking the claim in Excel

The summary says Central had the highest registration activity. Check that against this data and show the top 3 regions

Copilot in Excel confirming Central has the highest registration activity, with the top three regions ranked

Creating a presentation in PowerPoint

Build the deck, then ask for a recap:

Recap the whole deck in five key takeaways for a closing slide

Five takeaways, each citing the slide it came from
One question → Word → Excel → PowerPoint, nothing rebuilt twice
