help GitHub Copilot Edits FAQ

What are GitHub Copilot Edits?

GitHub Copilot Edits is an IDE feature for asking Copilot to propose changes across one or more files. It uses the surrounding code context to generate modifications that the developer can review and apply.

Can Copilot Edits change multiple files at once?

Yes, the feature is intended for coordinated edits across a codebase rather than only inserting text at the cursor. Developers can inspect the proposed changes across files before accepting them.

How is Copilot Edits different from ordinary code completion?

Ordinary completion predicts code while you type, whereas Copilot Edits responds to an instruction and proposes broader code modifications. The edits are presented inside a supported IDE so the developer can review the generated diff.

Which development environments can use Copilot Edits?

Copilot Edits is delivered through supported GitHub Copilot IDE integrations, including Visual Studio Code and other IDEs covered by GitHub's feature matrix. Availability can depend on the IDE version, account plan, and enabled Copilot features.
