Advantages of Notebook vs. Standard Chat
Notebook is specifically designed for 'prompt engineering'. You can modify your original prompt repeatedly and regenerate the output within the same window, unlike the standard chat mode which is chronological and sequential.
Generous Character Limits
With an 18,000-character limit, Notebook allows you to input nearly 10 to 15 pages of text at once, making it highly effective for summarizing meeting transcripts or research papers.

Using Microsoft Copilot Notebook for Long Documents
- Open the Microsoft Copilot website or application.
- Click on the 'Notebook' menu located in the top navigation bar.
- Locate the large input box on the left side of the screen, which supports up to 18,000 characters.
- Copy and paste your long document or extensive context into the input box.
- Type your specific instructions or prompt below the pasted text to process the information.
- View the AI-generated output in the panel on the right side.
- Refine your results by editing the original prompt directly in the left input box to get more accurate output without needing to start a new chat.
