Introduction

The Review this presentation skill is rolling out as part of Copilot in PowerPoint for Mac. In Copilot, a "skill" is a user‑initiated action that performs a specific task on existing content. This capability reviews existing slides and provides detailed recommendations to improve structure, clarity, and storytelling, helping users refine presentations more efficiently.

This skill now supports both Anthropic model and GPT5.5 model.

  • Copilot will analyze the current presentation and generate suggestions to improve narrative flow, organization, and slide clarity.
  • Suggestions are provided for review only; no changes are applied automatically.
  • The feature is available by default for eligible users and respects existing Copilot access controls.

What you can do to prepare:

  • No admin configuration is required.
  • Optionally, you might notify users with access to PowerPoint Copilot about the new Review this presentation option.
  • IT admins cannot control the availability of individual skills. However, skills that depend on the Anthropic model adhere to existing admin configurations—if the Anthropic model is disabled for a tenant by the IT admins, those associated skills will not be available to users in that tenant.
