 # Part 06: Using Copilot Vision
 
-In this section, you'll use Copilot Vision. You can share screenshots of errors and Copilot will interpret the image and resolve the issue. Or share mockups of new designs, and Vision will help you bring them to life. Let's update our design based on a photo our design gave us.

 1. [] Ask: `Update the Products.razor to display products in a grid layout similar to this image. Add nice hover effects and make it responsive.`
 1. [] Review the suggested code changes and implement them. It should recommend changes to both the **Products.razor** and a new **Products.razor.css**
 1. [] Run the application to see the updated product grid layout. You may have to clear the browser cache with CTRL+SHIFT+R if you don't see the CSS update.
 
-> Note: continue to iterate with Copilot Agent if it isn't to your liking.
