Brisk for Microsoft Is Coming: Everything Educators Need to Know

Brisk for Microsoft launches August 2025 — here's what you need to know.

If you’re planning lessons, giving feedback, or supporting learners using Microsoft tools like Word and PowerPoint, we’ve got good news: Brisk is about to work with the files you already use.

Soon, you’ll be able to upload Word and PowerPoint files into Brisk - and use tools like Create, Feedback, Leveling, and Brisk Boost to make them even more impactful.

Whether you're building resources, personalizing learning, or leading instructional teams, Brisk helps make the work you’re already doing more effective, intentional, and adaptable - so you can stay focused on what makes the biggest difference for your students.

‍

Coming Soon: Brisk Support for Word and PowerPoint

For many educators, Microsoft tools are home base. But up until now, using Brisk with those tools often meant switching accounts, copying content into Google Docs, or rebuilding materials just to get started. That’s about to change.

Soon, you’ll be able to:

  • Sign in with your Microsoft account (SSO) - no Google login needed
  • Create and export directly to and from OneDrive
  • Upload Word and PowerPoint files directly into Brisk
  • Use Brisk tools like Create, Give Feedback, Change Reading Level, and Brisk Boost
  • Export your work as a Word doc, PowerPoint, or PDF

It’s all about making Brisk work with the tools you already use — without adding extra steps or changing your routine.

‍

A Better Way to Support Every Student

Every classroom is different — and every learner brings something unique. Brisk helps you respond to those needs with clarity and speed, using the content you already have.

With Brisk + Microsoft, it becomes easier to:

  • Adjust reading levels for different groups
  • Translate key materials for multilingual learners
  • Create scaffolded supports that help students work more independently
  • Give meaningful, actionable feedback — without starting from scratch

Whether you’re mapping out a unit, knee-deep in student work, or pivoting mid-lesson, Brisk helps you meet learners where they are — and actually move them forward, one step at a time.

‍

Make the Most of the Content You Already Have

With Brisk, you don’t need to start from scratch. It helps you get more out of the materials you’re already using. When layered on top of Microsoft, Brisk can help you:

  • Plan directly from Word docs and PowerPoint slides you’ve already built
  • Adapt materials on the fly to meet different learning needs
  • Turn a single file into multiple pathways for student success
  • Save time without sacrificing quality or personalization

A Sneak Peak into How it Works: 

Step 1 – Sign In with your Microsoft credentials.

‍

  • Step 2 – Click the paperclip icon to upload
    Upload a Word doc or PowerPoint from your computer or OneDrive.

‍

  • Step 3 – Select your file to be create
    Need to give feedback? Level the text? Create a quiz or lesson?
    Brisk makes it happen –– right from your file.

‍

  • Step 4 – Brisk it
    Watch Brisk create your resource!

  • Step 5 – Export it your way
    Export as a Word doc, PowerPoint, or PDF. Then save it to your LMS, OneDrive, or wherever you organize your materials.



Brisk
remembers your favorite export settings for a smoother workflow.

‍

Simple to Use. Safe for Schools.

Brisk is FERPA and COPPA compliant, and trusted by educators and districts around the world.
And with Microsoft Single Sign-On (SSO), getting started will be easier than ever.

What’s Next for Brisk — and for Teaching

This update reflects a shift in how Brisk supports educators — and how educators are approaching their work.

Brisk is built to fit into the routines you already have, help you adjust quickly when things change, and reduce the daily work that pulls you away from students. It’s about streamlining planning, feedback, and differentiation — and giving you tools that work better together.

This update is just one step toward something bigger: smarter, more connected workflows that grow with you.
