It includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>App-specific prompt categories:<\/strong> Ready-to-use prompts for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and OneNote, with examples from basic to advanced.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Role-based prompt packs:<\/strong> Sets of prompts tailored for common business functions (executives, sales, HR, marketing, finance) so each role can automate its routine tasks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prompt-writing framework:<\/strong> A simple formula for constructing effective prompts. We will explain how to add goals, context, tone, audience, and data sources.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prompt templates:<\/strong> Reusable prompt templates for emails, documents, meetings, etc., with placeholders you can fill in (like [audience], [tone], [deadline]). We will provide at least 10 universal templates you can copy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Advanced techniques:<\/strong> Tips like chaining prompts, asking for multiple outputs (versions, tables), adding constraints, and iterative refinement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Common pitfalls and fixes:<\/strong> Examples of vague or overbroad prompts and how to improve them, plus tips for verifying Copilot\u2019s output.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each section of the library is accompanied by <strong>\u201ccopy-ready\u201d prompt examples<\/strong>.

For example, instead of \u201cExplain these sales figures,\u201d use \u201c<em>Analyze the sales figures in this table and highlight the top three trends for my finance team<\/em>.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Break complex tasks into steps or chain prompts. &#8211; Always review Copilot\u2019s output for accuracy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you need several items (e.g. bullet list, Q&amp;A), explicitly ask for that format.

E.g. \u201cAct as a marketing expert and create\u2026\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multiple outputs:<\/strong> Ask for variations. E.g. <em>\u201cGive me three versions of this email: formal, friendly, and casual.\u201d<\/em> Copilot will return multiple alternatives.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Structured output:<\/strong> Ask Copilot to format results, e.g. \u201cProvide the answer as a table with columns for Issue, Impact, Recommendation.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chaining prompts: <\/strong>Break tasks into steps. First ask for a summary, then ask Copilot to expand or refine it. Microsoft suggests you\u2019ll likely follow up with another prompt for best results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Constraints: <\/strong>Limit length or style. E.g. \u201cSummarize in under 200 words\u201d or \u201cUse bullet points only.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Comparisons:<\/strong> Ask Copilot to compare options. E.g. \u201cCompare Project A and B on budget, timeline, and ROI in a table.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>First draft + revise:<\/strong> Get a rough draft, then ask Copilot to improve it. For example, <em>\u201cRewrite the above in a more engaging tone.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These techniques let you squeeze more value from Copilot. For instance, one might first ask \u201c<em>Analyze this data\u201d<\/em> and then ask <em>\u201cnow create an executive summary of the analysis\u201d<\/em>. Remember to <strong>verify outputs <\/strong>at each step, since AI can hallucinate. Microsoft cautions that Copilot responses can sometimes be incorrect, so always cross-check important facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-4-font-size\">Prompt Templates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are some copyable <strong>prompt templates<\/strong>.
