Microsoft has updated the Microsoft 365 landing page to integrate Copilot as the central experience. This article explains the new layout, key features, and how to access familiar tools in the updated interface.

The Microsoft 365 Copilot landing page—accessible via office.com—now serves as your AI-powered workspace. Once you access the M365 portal, you start in the Chat section of a Copilot-centered interface. You can interact with Copilot by entering text in the “Message Copilot” area.

More information about Copilot can be found at What is Copilot, how do I get it, and where can I learn more about it? and Welcome to the Microsoft 365 Copilot app - Microsoft Support.

The left navigation panel has additional features available to you. Some features may require the licensed version of Copilot.

If you're missing the old “Quick Access” list:

1. Click the Search icon on the homepage.
2. Use filters like “Recently used,” “Shared,” or “Favorites” to locate your files.
3. Alternatively, go directly to OneDrive or launch individual apps from the sidebar.

Create

This section is a shortcut to creating an item (i.e., Word document, PowerPoint presentation, Excel workbook, etc.) without having to open the application first.
