2026-09-25 · that day's edition

Admins can configure the new policy now; GitHub says it will not affect feature access until it takes effect next month.

GitHub is introducing a new global default policy for generally available Copilot features and supported client capabilities in enterprise and organization Copilot settings, covering features on the Features and clients page as well as the Copilot Code Review and MCP servers policies. Admins can configure the policy starting September 24, 2026, but GitHub says it will not affect feature access for users during a 28-day window. GitHub says the policy takes effect on October 22, 2026, after which eligible generally available features left unconfigured will follow the selected global default of enabled, disabled, or letting organizations decide.
