Microsoft puts Copilot at your fingertips with upcoming right-click integration

Copilot is a focal point of Microsoft, and the company is determined to integrate it into various services.

It seems that Microsoft has no plans of stopping, and we should see Copilot available in the context menu on Windows 11 soon.

Copilot went through some changes recently, and the KB5037133 update lets you move Copilot freely. There are also reports that Copilot in OneDrive will be available right from the file viewer.

That’s not all, and as MSPowerUser writes, we’ll soon see a better integration between Copilot and File Explorer.

This was first spotted by PhantomOcean3 on X:

Here's how the Copilot entry in File Explorer context menus will appear. It will show some actions you can take for files using Copilot, like summarizing and describing text files. https://t.co/15KXTKcaBn pic.twitter.com/N6HhIB8pWk

As you can see, the Copilot will be available when you right-click a file, and you’ll have the option to send the file to Copilot or to Summarize it.

We don’t know exactly how this feature will work, but we do know that different file types will be supported. The list includes text, PDF, PowerPoint, and Excel files.

This feature isn’t available to the Insiders, and there’s no way to test it, but we hope to see it available soon.
