# **What it does**: Adds pull requests in the docs-internal repository to the docs-content review board when the "ready-for-doc-review" label is added or when a review by docs-content or docs-reviewers is requested. Adds the "DIY docs" label to the PR if it is connected to a DIY docs issue in the docs-content repo. This workflow is also called as a reusable workflow from other repos including docs-content, docs-strategy, docs-early-access, and github.

We've updated the documentation to remove references to Copilot coding guidelines.
6
+
7
+
Coding guidelines, which were previously deprecated, have now been removed as a way of customizing Copilot responses. You should now use Copilot custom instructions.
8
+
9
+
See: [Configure custom instructions for GitHub Copilot](https://docs.github.com/copilot/how-tos/configure-custom-instructions)

**4 September 2025**

+
15
+
In addition to repository-wide custom instructions, specified in the `.github/copilot-instructions.md` file, Copilot Code Review now supports:
16
+
17
+
* Path-specific custom instructions, specified in `.github/instructions/NAME.instructions.md` files.
18
+
* Custom instructions specified in the organization settings for Copilot.
19
+
20
+
We have updated several articles in the GitHub documentation accordingly. We have also made changes to clarify the difference between the various types of custom instructions for Copilot Code Review, Copilot Chat, and Copilot Coding Agent.
21
+
22
+
For example, see: [Adding repository custom instructions for GitHub Copilot](https://docs.github.com/copilot/how-tos/configure-custom-instructions/add-repository-instructions?tool=webui).

We’ve updated [Choosing your enterprise’s plan for GitHub Copilot](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/get-started/choose-enterprise-plan) to better highlight the long-term benefits of the Copilot Enterprise (CE) plan. The updated content focuses on the key advantages of CE, such as increased access to premium requests and earlier availability of new models.

34
+
We've added documentation for support of Copilot code review in Xcode.
We've published a new customization library for GitHub Copilot: a curated collection of examples you can copy, adjust, and use to enhance your experience with Copilot. This library is designed to inspire and educate people on the options available to customize Copilot responses.
43
+
44
+
We've included examples of custom instructions (widely supported) and prompt files (supported in VS Code only). The examples cover scenarios such as debugging, onboarding, and accessibility. We look forward to adding more examples over time.
We've published an article about the new AI-powered issue intake tool, which automates incoming issue analysis and triage for OS maintainers.

To address common pain points that developers face when remediating a leaked secret, we created a new article, "[Remediating a leaked secret](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/secret-scanning/working-with-secret-scanning-and-push-protection/remediating-a-leaked-secret)".
