GitHub Copilot Code Review Expands PR Coverage and Adds Resolution Reasons
GitHub Copilot Code Review now supports reviewing pull requests authored by bots, including Copilot cloud agents, and has removed previous limitations on PR size (300 files or 20,000 lines of code). Organizations can enable a policy to bill bot-authored PR reviews directly to their account, even without individual Copilot licenses. Additionally, users can now specify reasons for resolving comments, choosing from "Addressed," "Won't fix," or "Incorrect" to provide feedback.

- Expanded Pull Request Coverage for Bots and Large PRs
Copilot Code Review now supports automatically reviewing pull requests authored by bots, including the Copilot cloud agent, by billing usage directly to the organization. The previous limits of 300 files or 20,000 lines of code for pull request size have also been removed, allowing review of very large PRs.
- Specify Reasons for Resolving Code Review Comments
Users can now provide feedback when resolving a Copilot code review comment by selecting a reason such as "Addressed," "Won't fix," or "Incorrect." This new option helps the product team gather valuable insights for improving the tool.
