Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365): Write a prompt for selected portions of text in Word

🚨 The Signal: Copilot in Word now allows drafting content from specific text selections, not just entire paragraphs. This increases granular control over AI-generated content, potentially reducing accidental data exposure or irrelevant content generation.

The Impact

All Copilot users are affected, with a reduced risk of unintended data exposure to the AI model.

  • End-users: Reduced risk of accidentally including sensitive data in prompts.
  • Security Teams: Improved data governance posture due to more precise user control.
  • Compliance Officers: Easier to demonstrate controlled use of AI for content generation.
