To use CoPilot in Bitrix24 Sites:

1. Open the page and click the widget in the bottom-right corner.

5. Review the translation. If it needs changes, describe them in the chat or edit the text manually.
6. Once done, click the cross (X) to close the CoPilot chat.

If a block can’t be fully translated with CoPilot, you can translate sections of it instead.

1. Highlight the text you want to translate.
2. Click the CoPilot button.
3. Type your request. For example: "Translate the selected text into French with the precision and quality of a professional translator."
4. Or, select the Translate option from the list and choose the language you need.
5. Review the translation, then click Replace selected text to apply it.

Save frequently used requests in the prompt library to avoid retyping them each time.
