GitHub Copilot introduces new default policy for feature enablement
GitHub rolled out a global default policy setting for generally available features in Copilot Business and Enterprise accounts—specifically for GitHub Copilot, not Microsoft 365 Copilot. Administrators have 28 days to configure whether eligible features are enabled by default, disabled pending approval, or delegated to organization admins before the changes take effect on October 22, 2026. Explicit feature configurations previously set by administrators will remain intact, and preview features will continue to require manual opt-in.
