Microsoft MVP David Benaim, who authors our quarterly “New tech features” blog series, will walk us through a digest of the new features across your favourite business apps, including Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, Word, Outlook M365 apps and more such as Google. He will showcase Copilot’s Excel agent mode where you can use a prompt to clean data, create a financial model, a dashboard or do en-masse research. David will also showcase Power Query online Gemini functionality within Sheets to create Kanban boards linked to data and more. Updates to Canva, Copilot Researcher, Copilot Notebooks and many more features will also be shown in this demo heavy session.
Only widely released features will be showcased, features in the beta versions only will not be discussed.
