Question

A contracts manager has two versions of a vendor agreement stored in the same SharePoint library: 'Vendor_Agreement_v3.docx' and 'Vendor_Agreement_v4.docx'. She opens v4 in Word and wants Microsoft 365 Copilot to produce a written summary that highlights the substantive changes between the two versions so she can brief her director quickly. What is the most effective way to accomplish this?

Accepted Answer

In the open v4 document, use Copilot in Word and reference the v3 file in the prompt, asking Copilot to summarize the differences between the two versions.

Answer

Open both documents side by side and ask Copilot to read whatever is currently visible on screen.

Answer

Paste the full text of both agreements into a Copilot Chat prompt and ask for a comparison, ignoring the SharePoint copies.

Answer

Use the Word 'Compare' legal blackline feature, since Copilot cannot access more than one document at a time.
