Description

Plan Mode for Copilot in Excel helps users make complex changes with confidence by outlining a clear, step by step approach before anything in the workbook is updated. Users can review how Copilot intends to complete the task, see which data or capabilities may be used, and adjust the plan as needed—ensuring edits are intentional, transparent, and aligned with their goals before they’re applied. This makes it easier to tackle multi step or high impact tasks while staying in control of every change.
