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.
