    If you're using Copilot (such as Microsoft Copilot in Word or another AI tool), you can use the following prompt to compare two documents for compliance with a template:


    Prompt: Compare the two attached documents and identify differences in structure, formatting, and content. Specifically, check for compliance with the expected template by analyzing missing sections, extra content, deviations in wording, and formatting inconsistencies. Highlight key discrepancies and suggest corrections to align with the template.

    If you have a specific compliance checklist, you can refine the prompt like this:

    Example: Compare the two attached documents. One is the template, and the other is the completed document. Identify any missing sections, incorrect formatting, deviations from standard wording, and inconsistencies in numbering or structure. Provide a summary of all differences and suggest changes to make the completed document fully compliant with the template.

    Yes, you can use Microsoft Copilot to compare two documents at a substantive level and examine their compliance with templates. This can be particularly useful for ensuring that documents adhere to specific standards or guidelines.

    Copilot can help you identify differences, similarities, and areas where the documents may not meet the required standards.
