While Microsoft 365 Copilot is incredibly powerful for generating content and layouts, its ability to
"create" or "customize" a brand-new design theme from scratch is currently limited.
Here is the breakdown of how Copilot interacts with company branding:
1. It Uses Your Existing Templates
Copilot cannot invent your brand colors or logos out of thin air. Instead, it works best when you start with a branded template.
2. It Doesn't "Design" the Theme
You cannot currently give Copilot a command like "Change the theme to match our company's blue and orange hex codes" if those aren't already in the slide master. You still need a human (or a designer) to set up the Slide Master first.
