What is Microsoft Copilot Study and Learn?
Microsoft added Study and Learn to Copilot's mode menu in October 2025. Like the ChatGPT and Gemini equivalents, it is designed to push students toward working out the steps, with explanations when they hit a wall.
Families who used the old Microsoft Math Solver app should know it was discontinued on July 7, 2025. Microsoft now points students to Copilot instead. Copilot in the Edge browser can also turn open reference tabs into quizzes.
Does Microsoft Copilot Study and Learn give students the answers?
No (in Study and Learn). Study and Learn nudges students toward solutions and breaks down concepts when they get stuck, rather than printing the final answer. Regular Copilot answers directly.
Key features
- Guided explanations that do not jump to the answer
- Tracks progress and keeps session history
- Builds practice sets from uploaded notes or PDFs
- Quiz yourself on open browser tabs in Edge
