Microsoft began rolling out Word, Excel and PowerPoint editing inside its Copilot app on October 9, 2026, starting with Frontier customers. The change lets eligible users keep working on an Office file beside their AI conversation, including making direct edits and collaborating with colleagues. For anyone who has copied an AI draft into a document and then spent time cleaning it up, that is the practical attraction: less shuffling between a chat window and the file the team actually uses.
