Copilot in Microsoft Edge offers a webpage summarization feature to help you quickly grasp the main points of any online article. This tool creates a concise overview, saving you time by presenting key information efficiently.
Copilot is Microsoft’s helpful AI assistant built directly into the Edge browser. It creates short summaries of long articles or complicated information, saving you reading time.
Microsoft Edge's summarization feature works in recent versions, including Edge 116, giving you quick overviews with a single click on any webpage.
For example, when you find a long report or a detailed news piece, Copilot’s summary tool instantly shows you the key ideas. You won’t need to read through everything.
To make Copilot’s summarization work, check that the “Show Copilot button in toolbar” setting is on in your Edge options. This makes the Copilot icon appear on the browser bar, ready to use.
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.
You can easily summarize a web page using Copilot in Microsoft Edge on Windows 11. Just open the Edge browser, go to the page you want a quick overview of, and then click the Copilot icon. Copilot will then show you a summary right there in its sidebar.
