Copilot code review: Better coverage and more control
Summary
Enhancements to Copilot code reviews: personal settings, improved comment quality, and expanded language support.
Copilot code review continues to evolve, with new enhancements rolling out to give developers more control, better insights, and broader language support.
✨ What’s new
✅ More control with personal settings
We’ve introduced a new user setting that lets Copilot Pro and Copilot Pro Plus developers opt in to automatic Copilot code reviews on their own pull requests. This complements the existing repository-level configurations and gives users more flexibility in how Copilot fits into their workflow.
✅ Smarter, more actionable reviews
We’ve improved the quality and organization of Copilot’s comments, making them easier to understand and act on. Copilot now generates 80% more comments per pull request, expanding coverage to include new review dimensions such as:
- Code quality (e.g., maintainability, best practices)
- Correctness (e.g., bug detection, error handling)
- Clarity and style (e.g., spelling, API design)
- Robustness and accessibility (e.g., performance, security, accessibility)
These changes help developers catch more issues earlier and improve code quality with less manual effort.
🔄 Now generally available: Use Copilot code review on 900+ programming languages
We’ve expanded Copilot code review to support nearly all programming languages, making it more accessible to teams working across a wide range of tech stacks. Whether you’re writing Go, Ruby, Kotlin, or something more niche, Copilot can now provide helpful, automated feedback on your pull requests.
