How to use Copilot in Microsoft Edge to proofread your work

Imagine having an assistant who tirelessly checks your work for errors and ensures it's polished to perfection. One such assistant is Copilot, which comes equipped with AI-powered tools to catch grammar, spelling, and other writing issues that might have otherwise slipped through the cracks.

To start proofreading with AI, go to Copilot in Microsoft Edge and paste the text you want to proofread in the Copilot search box, preceded by a prompt like one of these:

• Proofread the following text to check for grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
• Proofread the following text for general spelling and writing errors. Make a list of all errors and show me the text with errors bolded.
• Proofread the following text to make sure it sounds formal enough for a work email.

Get suggestions to improve your work

When you input your text into Copilot, it can swiftly scan every word, sentence, and paragraph to identify potential grammar, spelling, vocabulary, and style blunders, but that’s not all. It can also offer better word choices, sentences, and structure to enhance your writing style. Try prompts like these to get suggestions for improvement from your AI proofreader:

• Help me improve this text. Proofread the following text and check for grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Then, make a list of all problematic sentences with suggestions for a rewrite.
