Demo: Working with Copilot Pages in Microsoft 365

See how Microsoft 365 Copilot Pages transforms your workflow—whether you’re drafting blog content, generating images, organizing tasks, or pulling in data from your OneDrive. In this demo, I walk through using Copilot Pages to collaborate with Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat, generate structured content one paragraph at a time, reuse work data, and even bring in visuals and checklists—without switching context.

Video Summary

  • Creating Images with Copilot: I asked Copilot to generate images for my blog post on Power Automate. It provided three options, and I could easily add my favorite directly to the page without downloading.
  • Checklist Creation: Copilot helped me create a checklist to get the blog post live, including tasks like drafting, reviewing, and publishing. It formatted the checklist as a table automatically.
  • Tagging Collaborators: I tagged my colleagues, Vlad, Vanessa, and Alex, on the page. Since the page is currently private, their names appear in red until I share it with them.
  • Navigating Pages: You can open and close pages while chatting with Copilot, or view all your pages from the Microsoft 365 home. This makes it easy to access and manage your content.
  • Using Microsoft Loop: Copilot Pages integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Loop, allowing you to rewrite and modify content while maintaining the full Loop experience.

So here I have opened Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat, and I have a blog post to write this morning. Let me use Copilot. In the prompt, I said I need to work on a blog post about Power Automate for an audience of IT professionals who are new to the Power Platform. It needs to be about 800 words in length, and I want you to help me create it one paragraph at a time. Let’s start with only the introduction for now. Whenever I work with Copilot to create long text, I like to let it work one paragraph at a time. This way, it’s easier for me to ask for changes. I don’t have to ask for changes about the whole blog post; I can focus on one paragraph at a time.

Now you see it gave me the introduction here. Let’s read it real quick. At first glance, it looks good. Usually, what I would have to do now is copy it into a Word document and switch context all the time. But at the bottom of it, and I’m a bit zoomed in now so you see better, this is what it will look like in a more normal resolution. I have “Edit with Pages.” Once I click on it, it will create a brand new page here and automatically copy the result of the prompt into the page. As you can see, it really copies everything. Let me clean it up a bit here. Let’s delete the first part, the second part over here, and this. Let me fix the title as well. There we go. Now I have it: “Blog Introduction to Power Automate.”

Our Copilot page is Microsoft Loop, so you can use it exactly as you would Microsoft Loop, which is a bit different than using Word because we do not have a ribbon. However, if I want to add a heading or anything like that, I can just do the slash and then add a table, checklist, divider, headings, collapsible headings, quotes—everything is here in the slash. Let’s continue our blog post. Now I want to ask Copilot, “Great, what would the rest of the outline look like? What would your headings be?” Copilot is writing them at the bottom. Let’s see what it did. It’s “What is Power Automate,” “Getting Started with Power Automate,” “Key Features and Capabilities,” and so on. I can always just copy-paste if I want to. Nothing stops me from doing it. Let’s make this an H1. Here I can select it and make it an H1.

Now let me ask it, “Create the ‘What is Power Automate’ paragraph.” It only took a few seconds, and it created it. But I feel like it’s missing something. Let me ask Copilot, “Can you tell me some statistics on the usage of Power Automate? I want to show it’s very popular.” You don’t have to copy H1 into pages. You can keep chatting with Copilot on the left side here. We have our Copilot chat, and then only copy the parts that you need inside Copilot Pages, which is pretty amazing. There we go. Now it gave me the statistics. But I didn’t want them to be separate. I want Copilot to incorporate those into the “What is Power Automate” paragraph. There we go. It took a few seconds, and it did it. Now it looks pretty good. I’m not going to read it all. That’s not the topic of this course. Let’s click on “Edit in Pages.” There we go. It added it underneath. There’s still a little bit of cleanup to do here, so I’ll clean up the stuff before and after my paragraph. This is how Copilot Pages gives me that permanent storage where I can save the results of Copilot prompts.

Right now, I haven’t been using a lot of work data. I’ve been focusing on web data. Remember, you don’t even need an M365 Copilot license for this. Even if you only have the web tab or you don’t have a license, as long as you have access to Copilot Chat, you have access to Pages. Now let’s try and leverage some work data in here. I will tell Copilot, “Great, next I want you to talk about the three types of flows we have in Power Automate. I already have some information on this in my OneDrive, so use those files as a source.” Then, because I want to make sure it leverages the right ones, I can always click on the slash here. I know my first one is “Introducing Business Process Flows.” Then I also have one that is “Creating Cloud Flows with Power Automate.” Finally, I have one about “Robotic Process Automation.” There we go. I’m telling Copilot to create content, but base it on those three documents in my OneDrive for Business. Don’t go to the web; just base it on those documents. Let’s see what it did. It did a great job. It did the paragraph. Great. Let’s go here, click on “Edit in Pages,” clean it up, and we have our content saved into our page.

So far, we have done text-based stuff. Now I won’t keep going on with my blog post. Let’s move on to other types of content. What else would I need for this blog post? I probably need some images in there because I need to have a cover image. Let me ask Copilot, “Can you create an image for this introduction to Power Automate blog post?” Copilot will take a few seconds here, and then usually it will give me four different images about the topic. Let’s see how good it is. Usually, when it has text inside, there are some mistakes, but I just want to show you the images. There we go. It gave us three options. Let’s say the first one here is the one that I like the most. Usually, I would have to download it and everything, but with Pages, I can just click the “Add to Pages” button. I’ll just go to another image. Again, there is the “Add to Pages” button, and then it adds it to the page as well. It’s not only text; it’s also images.

I can also ask Copilot, “Great, now can you please create a checklist for me to get this blog post live? Here are some items on it,” and format it as a table. I just added a few tasks like creating a draft, reviewing the draft, and publishing the blog post. Let me add this to the top. This way, we have everything in here. As you can see, Copilot Pages was able to see that this is a table and automatically applied the table format to it. That is pretty cool. Now, instead of just having it like that, I want to tag everybody. Let me tag Vlad, Vanessa, and Alex. But you probably already noticed something. Vanessa and Alex show up in red. That’s because this page is only accessible to me. I haven’t shared it with anybody yet. We’ll cover that in just a minute.

Before we go to that, I have my page, and my blog post is ready. I’ll need to share it with Vanessa and Alex soon. But for now, you’re probably asking yourself, “How do you get back to this page in the future?” First of all, if you don’t want to see the page as you’re working with Copilot, you always have the “Open Page” and “Close Page” buttons at the top. While you’re in the conversation, you can always open and close it, which is pretty amazing. Or you can view all your pages here, which will bring you back to the Microsoft 365 home and the pages on the left. You will always be able to get to it from your Microsoft 365 home. You have pages, and right now I only have one of them. As you can see, it’s the same thing. The other way to get to it is from Microsoft Loop. Once you go to Loop, which you can either access from your app launcher here, or maybe you know the URL by heart, you can go to your recent components and pages. You see, I have my blog intro to Power Automate, and from here, I can modify my Loop component.

Something cool is that once you’re in Loop, you can also rewrite stuff with Copilot. You can change things using Copilot. The Copilot page doesn’t take anything away from Loop. You still have that full Loop experience, including Copilot in Microsoft Loop, which is pretty amazing. This is it for this first demo on how to use Copilot Pages alone as I work on content. Now let’s learn how we can use Copilot Pages to work with others.
