You can summarize a web page with Copilot in Microsoft Edge on Windows 11 to quickly grasp key information.
Copilot is Microsoft’s AI assistant, integrated directly into Edge, and it provides an AI-written summary of lengthy articles or complex content, saving you valuable time.
This feature is available in the latest versions of Microsoft Edge, allowing you to get concise overviews with just a click.
For instance, if you’re researching a long report or a detailed news article, Copilot’s summarization tool can instantly give you the main points without you needing to read every word.
To use this, ensure you have the “Show Copilot button in toolbar” option enabled in your Edge settings.
Click the Copilot icon on the toolbar and select “Summarize page,” or right-click anywhere on the page, choose “Ask Copilot,” then select “Summarize.” Copilot will then provide a summary in its pane.
Here’s How:
- Open Microsoft Edge.
- Go to a web page you want to summarize. Do one of the following:
- Click the Copilot menu arrow on the toolbar. Then click Summarize page.
- Right-click on an empty part of the page. Click Ask Copilot. Then click Summarize.
- Copilot will now show a summary of the page in the Copilot pane.
