GitHub is introducing a new global default policy for generally available Copilot features and supported client capabilities in enterprise and organization settings. The policy, configurable now and effective October 22, lets administrators choose to enable, disable, or let organizations decide on eligible features, while preserving explicit decisions and keeping preview features opt-in.
