Copilot code review: Better handling of large pull requests

We’ve made big improvements to how Copilot code review handles large pull requests. Around 30% of pull requests on GitHub include more than 20 files—and now we’re equipped to review more of them, more thoroughly.

We’ve lifted previous system limits that prevented reviews on larger or more complex files. This means Copilot can now review significantly more files in a typical pull request and offer more complete coverage — soon including suggestions that span multiple lines of code. Plus, for a faster experience with large pull requests, check out the improved files changed experience now in public preview!

In short: more files reviewed, more meaningful suggestions, and better coverage across your pull requests.
