Copilot on web expands conversation controls
Copilot Chat on github.com now includes easier access to recent conversations and the ability to minimize the chat interface, improving usability for web-based interactions.
We’ve made improvements to Copilot Chat on github.com that make it easier to use. These include easier access to your recent conversations in chat, the ability to minimize the chat window and return to an in-progress conversation, and indicators that help you track your Copilot token spend.
Minimize and resume conversationsWe’ve improved the chat overlay experience by adding two new features.
The first is the ability to minimize the screen during a conversation. This allows you to browse GitHub while waiting for a Copilot response.
The second is the ability to more easily view and continue your recent conversations.
We’ve also added token spend indicators in chat. Clicking on the token spend icon lets you see your per-session and per-message quota, allowing you greater visibility into your token spend and budget.
These features are generally available to all Copilot plans.
Try it out at github.com/copilot.
