 # Docs changelog
 
+**27 March 2026**
+
+We've introduced a new discovery landing page design for all the top-level doc sets on docs.github.com. The landing pages highlight recommended articles and give users the ability to filter articles by category with a drop down menu. Every article across the site now includes category metadata, making it easier to browse doc sets without relying solely on search. This replaces the previous product-landing layout across 35 doc sets.

 If you use both Copilot CLI and VS Code, when you start the CLI it will automatically connect to a currently open VS Code workspace that matches the directory in which you're using the CLI. You can also manually connect to VS Code by using the `/ide` slash command.
