Remove Copilot from Word

The latest Microsoft 365 Update has added a Copilot function to Word. Now every time I create a new paragraph, a little copilot symbol appears in the left-hand margin prompting me to use copilot. It is extremely annoying and distracting. How do I stop this symbol appearing, or better, remove copilot from Word?

    Uninstalling it in word seems to work as it's just a check box to be unchecked. However, this isn't the same in OneNote, you now also have an icon with the cursor everytime (!) or Excel. You can remove it from ribbons, but it doesn't remove it or switch it off.

    You changed my subscription without asking and requires me to do this!? And I guess it will be charged for in one way or the other. This is ****.

    Thank you for this response. I'm a mac user so I need additional help. I have successfully updated my subscription and disabled auto updates, but please would you provide details of how to roll back the version that you describe above, for a Mac?

    Thank you

    Does anyone have a solution for Apple/Mac products? This is clearly for Windows.

    Can you tell me what you did to get rid of CoPilot? I'm on a Mac and can't figure it out.
