GitHub Copilot Enterprise now includes an in-product validator for its managed settings, designed to help administrators ensure proper policy enforcement. This tool automatically detects issues like malformed JSON, unsupported configurations, and invalid team mappings that could prevent policies from taking effect. Errors are displayed in the "Copilot settings validation" section of the enterprise AI controls page, providing specific file and JSON path details for efficient correction. The validator supports configuration files such as `copilot/managed-settings.json` and `copilot/team-mappings.json`, along with any referenced team settings.
