GitHub Copilot Code Review Adds API Management and Simpler Review Summaries

At a glance

GitHub Copilot's code review settings can now be managed through REST and GraphQL APIs, which are programming interfaces, from organization-wide policies down to individual repositories. The review summary screen has also been made more concise, and errors related to billing, automatic reviews, and stability have been fixed. The feature is available on the Pro, Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise plans.

Key points

1. 1

   Through the API, you can see which reviewer left each review and the review intensity used.

2. 2

   Depending on administrator role, you can change whether code review is enabled and its settings at the enterprise, organization, or repository level.

3. 3

   The review summary puts key issues at the top and groups files that were not reviewed into one section.

4. 4

   A review that fails temporarily is automatically retried once.

Why it matters

This change makes it easier for companies and teams using AI code review across many repositories to manage settings automatically and read the results.
