Copilot is more than a chat box — it can take real actions in your workspace. Here's everything it can do for you.
Document editing
Insert new content at a position you point to ("add a section about onboarding after the intro").
Replace a selection or named block ("rewrite the second paragraph in plain English").
Rewrite the whole doc with a brief ("turn this draft into a one-pager").
Format — promote to heading, convert to list, wrap in callout, etc.
Translate the doc or a section.
These edits show up live for any collaborator viewing the document.
Tables
Create a new table from a description ("a table tracking our top 10 customers with name, ARR, churn risk").
Add columns or rows to an existing table.
Fill cells in bulk from context ("fill the launch_date column based on the dates mentioned in this doc").
Restructure — split a column, merge two, change types.
Artifacts (slides and widgets)
Generate a slide deck or widget from a prompt.
Iterate — "make slide 3 darker", "add a chart to the dashboard".
Edit content directly inside the artifact.
Workspace search
When a question touches your existing notes, Copilot searches your workspace before answering:
"What did we decide about pricing for the Q3 launch?"
It finds the matching docs, reads them, then answers with citations back to the source.
Web search
For external knowledge, Copilot can search the web. It pulls back ranked results, optionally fetches and reads pages, and works the answer into its response.
Image generation
Ask Copilot for an image ("generate an image of a sunset over a mountain range") and it creates one and inserts it into your document.
Workspace management
Copilot can manage your workspace itself:
Create, rename, move, or archive resources
Tag a doc, search by tag
Publish a doc to a public site
Set or change a custom domain (Pro)
What Copilot will not do
Delete data without asking — destructive actions always confirm first.
Send emails or messages on your behalf.
Touch billing or payment methods.
Modify member roles or sharing permissions without explicit instruction.
