How to Enable Rewrite with Copilot in Microsoft Edge
Rewrite with Copilot in Microsoft Edge is a built-in artificial intelligence tool that edits and improves text you already typed inside your web browser. Unlike the Compose feature that writes brand-new content from scratch, this tool changes your existing sentences on the fly.
You can use this feature on any website by highlighting text and clicking the Copilot icon. It helps you quickly fix emails, social media posts, and online forms without opening a separate app.
Enable “Rewrite with Copilot” by going to Settings Privacy and services and turning on “Show Copilot” and “Allow Microsoft to use your browsing data.” Then, navigate to Languages Writing assistance and toggle “Rewrite with Copilot” on.
