More ways to request and configure Copilot code reviews

Published September 23, 2026 · Category: AI Create

Overview

GitHub Copilot code review now offers additional personal configurations to an expanded set of Copilot plans and an enterprise-level default setting. These improvements are now generally available:

• A dedicated personal settings page for automatic review and your default review effort
• An enterprise-wide default review effort setting for organization-owned repositories

⚙️ Manage your personal review settings

Previously, personal Copilot code review settings were available only with Copilot Pro, Pro+, and Max on the “Copilot policies” page. They covered a single automatic review setting without separate controls for draft pull requests or new pushes.

Under your profile → Copilot settings, a dedicated “Copilot code review” page is now available on every Copilot plan, including Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise. From this page you can:

• Turn on automatic reviews from Copilot, which will trigger when you create a pull request, coauthor a pull request, or move a pull request out of draft state.
• Turn on automatic review for new pushes and for draft pull requests you create or coauthor.
• Set your default review effort, shown today as Lite or Balanced.

Your default effort applies to reviews you request, including reviews configured to automatically review your pull request. When manually requesting a review from Copilot via the pull request page under “Reviewers”, you can still select a different review effort before requesting.

🏢 Set an enterprise default review effort

Authorized enterprise administrators can now set one default review effort (i.e., Lite, Balanced, or the GitHub default) for the whole enterprise. The default applies to organization-owned repositories through inheritance. Organizations and repositories can still set their own overrides.
