Changed

• Copilot work events in the pull request timeline now show a small Copilot icon instead of an avatar.
• Deleting or automatically cleaning up sessions with uncommitted work no longer shows a recovery toast; the work is still backed up before deletion.

Fixed

• Copy buttons in Add Account and the device code screen now announce success to screen readers, and the "Copy link" button no longer changes its label after copying.
• Emoji are now only inserted when you select one from the suggestions menu, so typing or pasting a shortcode like :rocket: keeps it as literal text.
• Fixed "Repair saved diff" not being able to recover the diff for a merged pull request whose source branch had been deleted.

• Fixed right-panel tabs so moving and splitting them (via drag or the tab context menu) works consistently, and the Changes tab no longer renders blank when split alongside the pull request overview.
• Fixed screenshot and file links in chat losing their preview; clicking a linked screenshot now opens it in the image viewer, and other file links open in the artifact viewer.
• Fixed the "Off" CLI session retention setting so it actually stops automatically importing CLI sessions instead of still retaining them for seven days, and sped up startup for accounts with many stored sessions.
• Fixed the copy logs button in the setup script logs dialog rendering smaller than the adjacent edit script button.

• Fixed sign-in getting stuck when entering www.github.com or api.github.com:443 on the GitHub Enterprise Cloud sign-in screen.
• Fixed starting a session for a repository whose HEAD points at a missing branch, which previously created an empty session workspace instead of using the repository's existing commits.

• Fixed the integrated terminal failing to start Microsoft Store PowerShell on Windows
• Fixed the keyboard shortcut for selecting an option on a question so it works no matter which button in the prompt has focus.

• Error toasts now include a View logs action that opens a dialog with the full, selectable error details and a copy button.
• The conversation timeline now shows a "will change" notice as soon as you switch models or reasoning effort mid-turn, so your selection is confirmed before the agent finishes.

Changed

• Made the file tree toggle icon-only and aligned it to the same side as the file tree in the Changes, Files, PR files, and file/Markdown editor views

• The trusted-source guidance in the Manage marketplaces dialog now uses the same visual style as the Add canvas from URL dialog.
• When mentioning someone in an issue or pull request comment, people already participating in the conversation (author, reviewers, commenters) are now suggested first, ahead of other repository members.

Fixed

• Fixed the "Merge when ready" button showing a perpetual spinner when auto-merge could be enabled, now showing a stable merge icon instead.
• Fixed the /fleet command being unavailable when composing a new session; it now starts Fleet as soon as the session is created.
• Fixed the agent silently overwriting a pull request description that had changed since it last read it, so a conflicting edit now fails with a clear retry message instead of reporting false success.
• Fixed the app crashing on Linux when previewing a local file:// page in the embedded browser preview.
• Fixed the app window reopening at a smaller default size on macOS after quitting while maximized, instead of restoring maximized at the saved size.

• Fixed crashes that could occur in markdown rendering, the Invertocat animation, and tab navigation.
• Fixed duplicate/ghost file headers appearing in the diff view around review threads until scrolling.
• Fixed extension canvas content in the right panel sometimes staying misaligned over the conversation after resizing the sidebar or panel layout.
• Fixed external links on Windows re-prompting after you dismissed a shell-open prompt, and added a copyable error toast when a link genuinely fails to open.

• Fixed the plugin details dialog sometimes showing skills from the previously-viewed plugin when switching between plugins.
• Fixed the Terminal tab being unusable in a new local folder session until the first message was sent.
• Fixed unpublished pull request and issue comments being lost when navigating away and back.
• Launching the app again while it's already running now focuses the existing window instead of opening a duplicate instance.
• Links in assistant responses that point to files in your project now open in the Files panel instead of being stripped as invalid links.

• Screen readers now announce the default timeout hint when adding or editing MCP servers
• Uninstalling or disabling a plugin now stops its extension process instead of leaving it running in the background.
• When a commit fails or appears to hang because your signing key can't prompt for a passphrase, the app now explains what happened and how to fix it, instead of showing a raw git error or seeming to do nothing.

v1.1.5

What's new in v1.1.5

Highlights

• Added a Resume button to the sidebar hover preview so you can resume interrupted or errored sessions without opening them.
• Closing the main window now keeps the app running in the background instead of quitting, with tray/dock support to bring it back.
• Pinned sessions in the sidebar can now be dragged into a custom order that persists across restarts.
• Hovering a link in a chat message now shows its full destination URL.
• Permission modes are now aligned with the CLI while keeping the app's existing slash commands like /permissions and /yolo.

Added

• Added a Resume button to the sidebar hover preview for interrupted or errored sessions, so you can resume them without opening the session.
• Closing the main window now keeps the app running in the background instead of quitting. On macOS, closing hides the window and the Dock or tray restores it. On Windows/Linux, this is on by default when the system tray is enabled, with an opt-out setting under the tray settings.
• Hovering a link in a chat message now shows its full destination URL.
• Pinned sessions in the sidebar can now be dragged into a custom order that is remembered across restarts.
• Settings now has a skip link: tabbing from the search field reveals a control that moves keyboard focus past the navigation list straight to the panel content.

Changed

• Aligned permission modes with the CLI while preserving the app's existing slash commands: use /permissions manual|assisted|allow-all|show, /allow-all-tools on|off|show, /yolo on|off|show, or /reset-allowed-tools.
• Improved the sidebar disk space banner so its graph segments and legend labels clearly match, with per-segment tooltips and a tighter compact layout.
• Permission prompts now show the specific reason a command wasn't automatically approved, instead of a generic message.
• The disk space banner's "Manage sessions" button now shortens to "Manage" at narrow sidebar widths so it stays legible alongside "Not now".

Fixed

• Adding a local clone during onboarding now links the project to the repository you selected, instead of defaulting to your fork when it happens to be named 'origin'.
• Adding multiple projects at once (like selecting several repositories during onboarding) no longer navigates away from what you're working on as each one finishes importing.
• Chat sessions can now add Insights and installed extension canvases from the panel's Add tab menu, matching the workspace view.
• Custom worktree location settings that are rejected now show an inline error instead of failing silently.
• Expanding a message or tool row inside a background task's details no longer jumps the scroll position of the main conversation.
• Fixed a bug where certain shell commands with quoted flags could run without showing the expected permission prompt when "Always ask" was set.
• Fixed a bug where opening the terminal canvas with a command could run it without asking for permission.
• Fixed Agent Merge treating a required check that hasn't reported yet as passing, which could let merges proceed too early; it's now correctly treated as still pending.
• Fixed an intermittent issue on macOS where copying text, code, or images could occasionally fail or crash the app.
• Fixed background shells incorrectly showing as still running with a non-functional Stop action after restarting the app.
• Fixed crashes in the message composer that could occur when pressing Enter inside a code block or when switching away from a tab while editing a table.
• Fixed Ctrl+Arrow (Windows/Linux) not moving the caret by word inside composer code blocks
• Fixed extension canvases sometimes staying frozen behind a screenshot after closing a dialog like Settings.
• Fixed forking a conversation in a folder-based project, which previously failed.
• Fixed forking a session losing or corrupting changes to files tracked with Git clean filters (such as Git LFS).
• Fixed git clone and fetch failures on Fedora, RHEL, and other non-Debian Linux distributions by falling back to the system git when the bundled git can't load its libraries.
• Fixed keyboard focus being lost from the model or branch picker in the prompt composer toolbar when resizing the window or toggling the sidebar caused the toolbar to switch to its compact layout.
• Fixed Markdown images with explicit width/height being resized incorrectly, and images using legacy alignment attributes no longer appearing misaligned with adjacent text.
• Fixed missing tooltips on the "Change view" and "Filter actions" buttons in My Work when hovering or navigating with the keyboard.
• Fixed My Work list rows not opening when clicking the diff stats, comment count, or assignee avatars at the right edge of a row.
• Fixed nearly-invisible text selection highlighting in the GitHub dark theme.
• Fixed right-click selection menu not appearing when selecting text in background task details, so Copy selection works there like it does in the main conversation.
• Fixed Run scripts not being detected when a session's branch adds repository configuration that the default checkout doesn't have, and improved the empty-state message to explain why no Run scripts are available.
• Fixed starting a pull request or issue session for a repository accessed through a configured upstream remote, so it reuses the existing fork checkout instead of reporting the repository hasn't been added.
• Fixed switching the composer mode (e.g. from Autopilot to Plan) unexpectedly submitting the draft message instead of preserving it for editing.
• Fixed the AppImage failing to launch on some Wayland desktops.
• Fixed the composer occasionally showing the wrong permission mode (autopilot/ask before every action) right after resuming a session.
• Fixed the conversation view drifting away from the bottom after zooming out while pinned to the latest message.
• Fixed the conversation view getting out of sync when editing a message failed, so the message history now correctly reflects the actual state and an error is shown.
• Fixed the Files tab context menu so using "Copy path" on a nested file no longer collapses its parent folder.
• Fixed the home page's animated logo continuing to redraw indefinitely while idle, which caused unnecessary CPU and battery usage.
• Fixed the sidebar lagging behind the cursor while dragging its resize divider, so resizing now tracks the pointer smoothly.
• Fixed the sidebar stuttering and lagging behind the keyboard while its resize divider is adjusted with a held arrow key, so keyboard resizing is now as smooth as dragging.
• Fixed video previews getting stuck on Linux by showing a clear message with an option to open the file in your default app instead.
• Improved screen reader support for environment variable and header rows in MCP server settings, so each row is announced as a group and named after its variable or header.
• Restored the ability to fix unresolved review comments directly from a pull request's conversation tab.
• Screen readers now announce what each toggle in Settings > Accessibility controls (e.g. "Reasoning announcements") instead of just its bare name, even when the toggle is reached directly via Tab or a deep link.

• Added a one-click copy button for the session name in workspace and chat session information popovers.
• Added a stack menu next to a pull request's status to navigate between related pull requests in a stack, plus a stack summary in the merge drawer showing which pull requests will be included.
• Added a Worktree location setting in Settings > Sessions to customize where new session worktrees are created, using a path template with repository, branch, and name placeholders.
• Added an "Enable sound" toggle to the onboarding accessibility preferences dialog, so you can turn on notification sounds during setup.
• Cmd/Ctrl+click a quick chat in the sidebar to add it alongside sessions in the session grid.

• The model-change notice can now be expanded to show which model you switched from and how much context was reused from cache.
• You can now view and edit the milestone on issues and pull requests in the app.

Changed

• Forked sessions now appear as independent top-level entries in the sidebar instead of being nested under their source session.
• Improved the plan review experience: newly created plans now open automatically with the approval prompt focused, the plan panel shows a rendered checklist with search and an easy switch to edit the raw Markdown, and completed plans are clickable in chat history to reopen them.
• In the sidebar's group-by-project view, top-level sessions no longer show a redundant repository label on hover since they already inherit it from their project header. Nested sessions still show their repository label.
• Increased the contrast of selected-state backgrounds for a clearer visual highlight.
• Session history now loads faster by reading the transcript from disk immediately instead of waiting for the agent to resume.
• Smoothed out scrolling while tool calls stream in with Balanced verbosity, so the view stays anchored to the bottom, scrolling up to review earlier tools isn't interrupted, and edge fades transition more gradually.
• The composer's empty placeholder text now mentions typing "&" to reference other sessions.
• The credits usage notification is no longer shown when you have a bring-your-own-key or local model configured.
• The Plan tab now uses the standard plan review experience by default; you can still opt into the canvas rich text editor for plan.md in settings.

Fixed

• Agent merge now shows a status message when it's paused waiting on a commit status check, instead of silently parking with no explanation.
• Archived pull request diffs that were previously blank or missing now show correctly when possible, or a clear explanation when the underlying changes can no longer be recovered.
• Checking for updates in Settings > General now announces status to screen readers, and the check button stays keyboard-reachable while a check is running.

• Completed pull requests and issues no longer linger in the home page's Up next section.
• Expanding a composer pill panel (like queued messages or background activity) no longer shifts the chat history.
• Fixed a bug in the canvas editor where saving a file containing an image with backslashes in its alt text (such as a Windows-style path) would corrupt the alt text a little more with every save.
• Fixed a bug where a custom storage location directory named "worktrees" or "copilot-worktrees" could be incorrectly altered when saved.
• Fixed a bug where clicking the model picker could submit your draft message instead of opening the picker.
• Fixed a bug where commands run through env could bypass the shell command permission prompt.
• Fixed a bug where newly added skills didn't show up in the / autocomplete menu until a session started or the app was restarted.
• Fixed a bug where sending a message while the assistant was responding could leave your message displayed below the assistant's reply instead of in chronological order.
• Fixed a confusing browser permission prompt that could appear when reading the clipboard on Windows.
• Fixed a crash in the terminal that could occur after the graphics context was lost.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when resuming a session with very large files in its artifacts; oversized files now show a clear "file too large" message instead.
• Fixed a crash that could replace the entire app with an error screen when typing certain search terms (like "constructor:") into a filter query, such as in My work or the cloud automation trigger filter.
• Fixed an issue where pressing Stop while a follow-up message was queued sometimes required pressing Stop a second time before the session became idle.
• Fixed archived workspaces sometimes showing a file count with a diff that never loads by falling back to the last saved diff when it can no longer be reconstructed.
• Fixed branch renaming so the configured branch prefix is no longer applied twice when Copilot renames a session's branch.
• Fixed child sessions sometimes showing an incorrect model, reasoning effort, or context size in the composer instead of the configuration inherited from the parent session.
• Fixed clones of the same repository sharing sidebar labels and settings, which could merge their sessions or route actions to the wrong clone. Clones with the same name now show distinct, path-qualified labels.
• Fixed collapsed resolved and staged review comment threads showing an unnecessary "Outdated location" banner, keeping the collapsed row compact.
• Fixed conversation compaction sometimes getting stuck in a repeating loop that could run indefinitely; affected turns now stop automatically with guidance to resend the message.
• Fixed copying selected text in the read-only file viewer, which previously copied nothing to the clipboard.
• Fixed emoji in the integrated terminal being measured too narrow, which shifted the rest of the line and broke alignment in tables, box-drawing layouts, and similar output.
• Fixed extra vertical spacing on session communication entries like "Received message" and "Read session" in the conversation view.
• Fixed keyboard and screen reader navigation for clickable list rows so their action buttons can be reached and activated independently.
• Fixed keyboard shortcuts silently stopping when focus was on a tab's close button, such as switching tabs or submitting a pull request review.
• Fixed noticeable lag when viewing diffs containing very long lines (like long strings or near-minified code), which could take over a second to syntax highlight.
• Fixed pasted URLs with underscores being incorrectly converted to Markdown emphasis in the composer
• Fixed plugin-provided skill slash commands failing with an "Unknown slash command" error
• Fixed pressing Escape to close the provider dropdown during onboarding's model provider setup from discarding the whole form, including a typed API key.
• Fixed pull requests incorrectly showing as mergeable when they actually had merge conflicts.
• Fixed reasoning effort incorrectly defaulting to "None" for some models when starting a new session.
• Fixed right-click context menus not appearing for files and folders in the Files tab
• Fixed screen readers announcing extra button text when navigating the notification sound picker and the "Open in" app menus, so each option is now announced clearly.
• Fixed screen readers not reading the helper text next to the auto-update toggle and the Suggestion cards Restore button in Settings, and fixed focus loss and missing confirmation when restoring suggestion cards.
• Fixed shell commands sometimes never running in terminals using a customized shell prompt.

• Fixed skill directories from config.json or settings.json not being recognized when the file started with a UTF-8 byte order mark.
• Fixed stuttering when scrolling wide file diffs sideways in the conversation view.
• Fixed the "Add Enterprise account" form in Settings so an invalid server address is announced to screen readers, and an empty submission now explains what to fix instead of doing nothing.
• Fixed the /compact command sometimes showing no progress or result, or requiring a second run to display feedback.
• Fixed the app launching to a blank window on some Linux systems due to a font-rendering crash triggered by certain color emoji or monospace fonts.
• Fixed the completion summary at the end of a task being incorrectly grouped with the preceding tool call.
• Fixed the conversation view growing and jumping when a long sequence of tool calls runs in Balanced verbosity mode by keeping the live tool list scrol...

• Fixed a bug where deleting a session or workspace could silently discard uncommitted work in certain repository setups instead of preserving it.
• Fixed a bug where editing a markdown file could unintentionally remove backslash escapes on unrelated lines, causing escaped characters like headings, lists, quotes, and HTML tags to render incorrectly after saving.
• Fixed a bug where entering a branch name starting with a dash (e.g. "-D") when creating a worktree could silently delete an existing local branch instead of creating the new one.
• Fixed a bug where toggling a skill in Settings could silently re-enable a different skill you had previously disabled.
• Fixed a crash that could occur in the diff view when reviewing changes with an open comment draft while the diff was still updating.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when a message arrived while closing a session.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when deleting a table from the rich text composer.
• Fixed a crash that could replace the whole app window with an error screen when a code block's language label was "proto".

• Fixed a rare issue on Linux where the app could crash or hang and require a full relaunch to reconnect.
• Fixed a rare issue where the first message in a new session could fail to send, requiring you to manually resend it to continue the conversation.
• Fixed a small layout shift in sent user messages as they transitioned from pending to sent.
• Fixed adding two repositories with the same name from different organizations so each gets its own checkout instead of one add failing or pointing at the wrong repository.
• Fixed Agency falling out of date for users who don't run it directly in a terminal, by keeping it updated in the background when Agency mode is enabled.

• Fixed the keyboard focus indicator being invisible when tabbing to a collapsed comment in the Files changed view.
• Fixed the updated-at timestamp on My Work board cards so it correctly announces the relative time and reveals the exact date when activated, instead of only announcing the exact date.
• Page Up/Down, Home/End, and arrow keys now scroll the pull request and issue overview panes and the diff view.
• Screen readers now announce relative time labels (like session reset countdowns and timestamps) with full words instead of spelling out abbreviations.
