Global default for Copilot features generally available
In September, we announced a global default policy for generally available GitHub Copilot features and supported client capabilities on Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise plans. Starting today, we’re gradually rolling out enforcement of the policy through October 26, so it may take effect at different times for different enterprises and organizations.
Industry comparisons in the Copilot impact dashboard
The Copilot impact dashboard now includes an “Industry comparison” section. Enterprises, and organizations that aren’t owned by an enterprise, can compare their Copilot agentic adoption and leverage with aggregated benchmarks from participating peers. Participation is opt-in and disabled by default.

You can now send OpenTelemetry traces straight to Agent Observability, without the SDK.
