Instant previews, flexible editing, and working with issues in Copilot available in public preview

Inspired by our previous release, working with Copilot Chat on GitHub has become even more seamless. You can instantly preview HTML files, edit files you’ve created, and work on issues right away. Several exciting new capabilities give you more control and flexibility.

What’s new

• Preview your rendered HTML files directly in the side panel
• Edit files in the side panel to seamlessly refine and adjust them
• Generate and preview Mermaid diagrams for fast visualizations, whether they’re flowcharts or sequence diagrams
• Keep tabs on your issues in the same right side panel, ensuring you can tackle open tasks while discussing them
• Track issues or pull requests in responses that are rendered in a familiar GitHub style, making working with them easier

In addition, you can enjoy a smoother streaming experience and enhanced rendering of attachments.

Try it out

See the updated experience in action by submitting any of the following example prompts:

• What are the last five pull requests I made?
• Create a commit flow diagram in a markdown file.
• List the latest issues assigned to me.
• Create a colored 3D Rubik’s cube using only HTML and CSS.
