Rewrite

When you’re writing in the Edge browser, simply use your cursor highlight a passage that you want to try rewording, and you’ll see the Rewrite menu appear for you to click. When you click Rewrite, Copilot will generate a first draft to suggest rewording. From there, you can select from tones, lengths, and formats to try on different wording, clicking Rewrite to regenerate your draft each time. When you arrive at wording that you like, just click Replace to have Copilot insert the new wording directly into your draft.

Rewrite is only available in the Microsoft Edge browser.

Rewrite lets you adjust the tone of your writing (for example, make it more Professional or Enthusiastic), length (such as making it longer or shorter), and format. You can try out all these adjustments in the Rewrite menu, so you can get the right wording before replacing your highlighted text.

To use Rewrite, make sure you’re signed into Microsoft Edge. The Rewrite menu shows up when you highlight text that you’re currently writing within the browser, such as a social media post or an email. It won’t show up for already written content, such as a website or an article.

Rewrite will not appear if the phrase you’ve highlighted is not long enough to suggest rewording, such as a couple words. In this case, try highlighting a longer passage.

You can turn Rewrite on or off by going to Edge Settings (…) > Languages and under Writing assistance, using the toggle Use Compose (AI-writing) on the web.

Rewrite is currently available for Windows users who are signed in with a Microsoft account. Rewrite is temporarily unavailable for Entra ID users (school or work accounts) as we work to make this feature compliant with enterprise data protection standards.
