Copilot code review can now approve pull requests
PreviewVerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026
Copilot now tells you when a pull request is ready to approve, and admins can authorize it to sign off on approval. The ability for Copilot to approve is off by default and configurable at the enterprise, organization, and repository level. The approval assessments will now appear as a part of the overview comment in every Copilot review.
