Explained in plain English

What is a 'side panel'?

In software, a 'side panel' is a section of the user interface that appears on the side of the main window. It's often used to display additional tools, information, or controls without cluttering the main workspace. For Excel's Copilot, this means the AI assistant now likely operates from a dedicated area, making it more accessible and integrated.
