Not even. It’s an explicit feature that must be separately enabled, and requires Microsoft 365. > The first time you try out Designer, it may ask your permission to get design ideas for you. If you want to use Designer, select Turn on. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/53c77d7b-dc40-45c2-b684-81415eac0617 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/53c77d7b-dc40-45c2...

Plus there are policies which allow admins to block PowerPoint Designer, as well as all Office 365 "Intelligent Services" (or "Intelligence Services", depending on your POV).

It will ask you to turn on "Connected Experiences".

> it may ask your permission I wonder when that is? Because I haven’t used PP yet, and it didn’t ask me. Of course, we use Office 365, and maybe my boss turned it on globally? Does anyone know where the setting is?

  Have you used the Designer feature? That’s what’s being talked about. It should prompt you when you first use it. If you’re on a work account, your admin may have enabled or disabled it already with GPO/MDM.

    > Have you used the Designer feature? Yes. > If you’re on a work account, your admin may have enabled or disabled it already with GPO/MDM. It has to be a global Office 365 setting, my computer is not in the domain, I’m the only admin for it. That’s why I’m asking where the setting for the permission is, so I can have a look at it (I’m secondary admin for the O365 account) and potentially disable it.

      Do you have Microsoft 365? It's a requirement for the feature. It's part of "connected experiences" so this is the article on GPO: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/privacy/manage-privacy-controls https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/privacy/manag... On a Mac, one thing to note is: > If the user has an Office 365 (or Microsoft 365) subscription and is signed in with a work or school account, or if the user has Office LTSC Standard for Mac 2021 or Office Standard 2019 for Mac, then the user can't turn off connected experiences that analyze content.

        No, no M365, only O365. And again, no group policies. And M365 is not a requirement because the Designer function clearly works on my machine.
