- • Rollout is occurring gradually through October 26 for all enterprises.
- • Existing manual configurations for features will remain unchanged.
Implementation Timeline
GitHub has initiated the gradual rollout of a global default policy for generally available Copilot features within Business and Enterprise plans. The enforcement process began on October 22 and is expected to conclude by October 26, affecting settings that have been left in an unconfigured state.
Impact on Existing Configurations
The policy update will automatically set unconfigured features to a chosen global default of Enabled, Disabled, or Let organizations decide. GitHub confirms that this is a one-time change and that any explicit choices previously made by administrators for individual features will be preserved and not overwritten by this rollout.
