More information

Updated January 24, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Draft with Copilot takes a user-supplied prompt and generates a potential full-length email. The user can then add the generated content to their email draft body or change the prompt or tone/length settings and generate a new one. This functionality will start rolling out for users in Targeted Release. 

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 190937

When this will happen:

This functionality will be available in Current Channel (Build 17328). It will gradually roll out during the month of March, with MEC rolling out in April.

How this will affect your organization:

The button to "Draft with Copilot" will show up automatically in the ribbon in Outlook for Windows if users are licensed for Copilot.

What you need to do to prepare:

Ensure that your users have a license for Copilot and are on the latest Targeted Release build in order to access this new functionality. If you do not wish users to have this function you can manage access by removing Copilot licenses from users as appropriate.
