  • Clearer Review Progress and Findings Overview

    Copilot code review now offers a refreshed overview comment, detailing its current assessment, review effort, and a summary of findings. Findings are grouped into 'Open,' 'Resolved since last review,' and 'Previously missed,' with each including severity and a link to the inline comment for quicker navigation.

  • Intelligent Auto-Resolution of Comments

    The auto-resolution capabilities have been improved, allowing Copilot to honor replies that keep issues open and to resolve comments with reasons like 'Won't Fix' or 'Incorrect' based on subsequent commits. This helps focus attention on unresolved items.

  • Smart Commit Message Generation for Batch Suggestions

    When a developer commits an eligible batch of Copilot code review suggestions, Copilot now automatically generates a relevant commit title and an optional description. This feature also applies to batches containing non-Copilot comments, making commit history clearer.
