Microsoft Expands Windows Copilot With In-Chat Office File Exports and Opt-In Google/Microsoft Connectors

The update is rolling out to Windows Insiders for feedback before a wider Windows 11 release.

Overview

  • The Copilot for Windows app is updating to version 1.25095.161.0 and higher via the Microsoft Store across Insider channels in a staged rollout.
  • Users can now generate Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files directly from a chat prompt without switching apps.
  • For responses of 600 characters or more, Copilot adds a default Export button to send output straight to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF.
  • Optional Connectors let Copilot access OneDrive, Outlook, Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts after manual enablement in Settings.
  • Linked accounts enable natural-language search and summaries across emails, files, and calendars, with Microsoft noting a redesigned OneDrive app planned for next year.
