Getting started

Every report that meets Copilot requirements in Power BI will have the Copilot button in its header, ready to assist you with just a single tap. Once the Copilot pane is open, you can ask Copilot for a summary or to get insights. With just a few steps, you can get a summary that keeps you informed without diving into every detail manually.

Exploring further with Copilot

The summary is also a useful starting point for exploring your data. Once you receive the summary, taping on any data reference in the summary will get you a closer look at the relevant visual. The visuals are interactive, and you can dive deeper by long-tapping for tooltips, drilling down or up, or exploring more of your data as needed.

Tapping on references icon will open the reference list, where all the referenced visuals are displayed with their relevant names and pages. This is very useful for easily going over all the visuals selected by Copilot from one place.

And when you’re ready for more exploration with Copilot, you can select a suggested prompt from the bottom of the screen. These suggestions can include additional prompts like “Find insights” and “Summarize entire report” or summary adjustments like “Make it shorter” or “Make it formal”. You can view more suggestions by tapping on the refresh button. Each prompt you select will provide an answer tailored to your context and needs.

Share and Collaborate

Once you have the summary you need, you can use the Copy option to copy and paste it into an email, Teams chat or any other platform. Along with the summary, a link to the report is also provided, enabling the recipient to access further details by opening the report directly from that link.

To view the report again, you can close the Copilot chat. And don’t worry about losing your place, the chat history will stay intact when you close the chat and navigate to other pages, as long as you don’t exit or refresh the report.
