Polishing and Presenting

1. Polishing and Presenting

Welcome back!

2. From Drafts to Polished Presentations

You've already seen how Copilot can help you build an entire slide deck and improve design layout and images. Now, we'll focus on using Copilot to make smaller-scale edits to put the final touches on our presentation. We'll use Copilot for rewriting slide text for different audiences, and to prepare you for presentation delivery with personalized speaker notes. Let's dive in!

3. Refining Slide Text

Imagine you're working on a slide on sustainability goals. The content is factual, but it sounds a little flat.

4. Refining Slide Text

We can select the text box, and ask Copilot to rewrite it in a more persuasive tone for business stakeholders. With edit mode enabled,

5. Refining Slide Text

Copilot rewrites the text directly on the slide - no copy-pasting required. If you like the change, you keep it.

If not, you can iterate with more prompts, like "Make this sound more inspiring" or "Turn this into three concise bullet points." Sometimes the first result won't feel perfect, and that's okay. The power lies in the iteration: review, refine, and review again until the tone fits your audience. Copilot's doing the legwork here, but you're the brains of the operation. A persuasive slide for executives should sound very different from an internal project update. Copilot can adapt instantly - you just need to tell it how.

7. Generating Speaker Notes

Earlier, we mentioned that Copilot can't present for you, but it can do the next best thing: creating clear and engaging speaker notes to level-up your presentations. Copilot often creates speaker notes automatically for each slide; however, they may not match your presentation style or tone.

8. Generating Speaker Notes

From the Copilot panel, we can request revisions to the speaker notes based on a specific tone or delivery style.

9. Generating Speaker Notes

In Edit mode, Copilot adds the notes straight to the Notes pane under the slide - no copy-pasting required. You can refine it further to make it more concise and include a closing remark; you can even request jokes or quips if that's your style.

10. Human-in-the-Loop Editing

Like with the other features we've covered, Copilot isn't replacing your judgment — it's amplifying it. You're still responsible for
