Compliance considerations
Does the change alter how existing customer data is processed, stored, or accessed (e.g., documents, emails, chats, etc.)?
- No. This update adds a scenario-specific authoring skill in PowerPoint and does not introduce new customer data storage or change existing Microsoft 365 data handling pipelines.
Does the change introduce or significantly modify AI/ML or agent capabilities that interact with or provide access to customer data?
- No. The change does not introduce a new AI system-of-record; it provides a new entry point/experience within existing Copilot in PowerPoint capabilities.
Does the change provide end users any new way of interacting with generative AI?
- No. Users continue to interact through existing Copilot in PowerPoint experiences.
