Hey! When you sign up for the waitlist and get approved, is Copilot Code review available for your whole organization, or just for your individual account? And if only the individual account, is it possible to sign up the whole organization to the waitlist? |

got my request approved for my organisation, and we are paying customers, but code review is still not available for me, is ther anyone from github here actually reading this? there are plenty more in my situation.. |

@christian-andersson , @DanielHC16 , @redveronika I had the same but found it was a mistake on my part. Signing up to the waitlist shows you as on the waitlist; but per this ticket that's now irrelevant as the feature's generally available. The fix for me was:

@JohnLBevan for us this was not the problem, everything was setup up correctly from our side, after I filed a support ticket to Github, they went in an refreshed the copilot cache for our account, and that solved everything for us. |

this is very cool and could be a serious performance booster within our enterprise subscription on many levels! My am really excited about the quality of reviews in my tests 👍 These things we need to roll out deep integration into our processes:

It looks like it doesn’t support reviewing my *.swift files, so I can’t use it for my indie iOS app PRs. Is that right? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

Docs here show swift isn't supported. Supported langs: C#, Go, Java, JavaScript, Markdown, Python, Ruby, TypeScript Definitely would like wider language support! The indie app community in particular is big. Swift and Kotlin support would be great. |

@Akash1134 We follow trunk based development and so we don't create PRs. So we would like to have code review suggestions based on staged commit before we push code to repo. |

@eshwer is C++ on the roadmap? This is probably the most used language on GH that didn't get support yet :'( Thanks in advance! (by the way, is the roadmap public?) |

Overall, i found the review to be okish, and it did highlight a point i didn't consider before. Now the problem is - it finds this in one occurance, but that same file had the same exact access problem twice - which copilot somehow overlooked. I also find the review comment of "Evaluated as low risk" a bit odd - not necessarily the comment, but that it suggests that it skipped review of these files completely. But in my case, it skipped 2 key (key, as in important / central to the project) |

I received the email saying I have been granted access to "GitHub Copilot code review", but for my projects Copilot does not appear as a reviewer option on my Pull requests, nor as an option on rulesets for automatic review. Did the email perhaps skip a step about something I needed to first do to activate Copilot code reviewer? |

As of today, 4/21, I still cannot select Copilot as a reviewer. I could set ruleset option "Request pull request review from Copilot", but that does not kick off Copilot review. org: TongLeC |

hi @dc-tonglec - what Copilot license do you have? Copilot code reviews is only available to Copilot Pro, Pro Plus, Business and Enterprise users... in other words, it's not available to free users. Could this be the case? |

Hello, For instance, it thinks this code which is mine, is not correct [.. ids.Select(id => id.ToLowerInvariant())]and instead tells me to use this ids.Select(id => id.ToLowerInvariant()).ToArray();but the syntax i used is totally correct and has been available for over a year in .NET/C#. |

When you are using GitHub Copilot paid version and you have exceeded the maximum number of request for the month, Copilot free is no longer available for PR reviews. I think the option is free should be available even if you have exceeded you limits in the paid version. |

https://github.com/marketplace?type=actions&category=code-review lists scripts which use computer assistants (such as GitHub's Copilot, or other Generative Pretrained Transformers) to do automatic PR reviews. |

Could we reference markdown files in the same repo in copilot instructions ? When reviewing pull requests, Copilot should:
- refer coding standards documents present in the `docs/standards/` folder. |

How do I customize GitHub Copilot code review for multiple repos or an entire organization? I don't want to have to copy/paste custom instructions into copilot-instructions.md for every repo and periodically update them as we refine new versions of common custom instructions. Is there no organizational configuration or inheritance mechanism? |

With the recent deprecation announcement. I have an org with GitHub Copilot enterprise. The Feature you're deprecating is it the "Custom Instruction" that is set at the ORG level? When I go into settings -> copilot -> Custom Instructions are you removing that in favor of the individual copilot-instructions.md file? Just want to be sure I have this clearly because you mention "coding guidelines" and I can't find that feature (maybe it's because it was private preview and I wasn't invited.) We use Custom Instructions to enforce guidelines across everything in the org, would be disappointed to see that go.

feature request: please add an option to make copilot comments to be review comments are currently hit-or-miss, and unhelpful ones create a lot of notification spam for PR author and reviewers. It would make the copilot review process much more useful if user could audit comments before they are sent. |

hi there! thanks for the feedback! one idea: you may consider running code review in VS Code prior to creating the PR so no comments are generated. |

In the latest improvements with Copilot code review, we’ve added a new Copilot code review enterprise and organization setting and Copilot code review is now generally available in Xcode 🎉. Support for Visual Studio, JetBrains, and Eclipse is coming soon!
Copilot code review generally available in Xcode
Use Copilot code review in Xcode to quickly self-review an open file, a selection, or staged changes before you create a pull request. This helps you catch logic, security, performance, or test gaps early — all without leaving your editor. Request a review from the Copilot chat panel in Xcode to get started.

New enterprise and organization control
We’ve introduced a new setting that gives enterprises and organizations dedicated control over Copilot code review (CCR). You now have clearer, more predictable controls for managing Copilot code review across your enterprise, whether you use it on GitHub, in VS Code, or as part of a standalone Copilot setup.
What’s new
If your enterprise has enabled the
Copilot on GitHub.compolicy (or sub-policies for preview features), CCR remains on by default. Going forward, it must be managed separately from those policies.For questions about these changes, join the conversation below 👇
