The steps
The exact sequence, in order.
- 01
Open the thread and click “Summarize by Copilot” at the top of the message.
- 02
Scan the three blocks of the summary: decisions, actions, open points.
- 03
Open the Copilot pane and ask for the actions that involve you.
- 04
Click the citation on a key fact to check it against the original message.
The prompt to copy
Word for word, exactly as shown in the video.
Which actions are mine, and by when?
The habit to keep
You summarize before replying to any thread longer than five messages.
Worth knowing
What the video does not hide from you.
Copilot only summarizes what it can see: a message forwarded outside the thread or an encrypted attachment may be skipped. It can also invent a deadline, so check it.
