Research details to support your document

- [Instructor] When working on a document, Copilot can be a useful research assistant. Instead of switching to your web browser or another app, you can try asking Copilot questions to help support or enhance your document. For example, I'm working on the Globe Bank social media manual here in Word. And in this section called Platforms We Use, the manual offers suggestions about each major social media platform and what to post to them. I'll open up the Copilot panel. And maybe I want to add some practical information to the section on LinkedIn, like, "What is the ideal resolution for a LinkedIn profile photo?" Notice it says it's combing through web results, documents, and emails that it found relevant. So Copilot has performed a web search to find this info, and it didn't pull this info from the document we're looking at. Now, again, like with all things Copilot does, be sure to check its accuracy. But with this information it's provided, I could copy and paste it into my document and revise it as necessary. Or maybe I want to ask Copilot a more open-ended question to make sure I'm not missing or forgetting anything in this section. So I'll ask it, "What other platforms or information should be included "in the Platforms We Use section of this document?" And here's Copilot's reply. And again, I might not use all or any of this information, but this is useful to me to make sure I haven't excluded any important platforms from this document. Maybe we don't use Pinterest or Snapchat but we do have a TikTok account, so I'll need to come up with something for that. I will ask to generate a guideline on how Globe Bank should use TikTok, and base your response on the other social media platform descriptions used in this document. And there's the response. And now I can use what Copilot has generated to help me write the company's guidelines for using TikTok.
