What's New

Updates Learning Hub documentation to reflect features shipped in Copilot CLI versions 1.0.25–1.0.32 (April 11–17, 2026).


New Features Found

Copilot CLI v1.0.32 (2026-04-17)

  • auto model selection — Copilot can now automatically pick the best available model per session
  • Document file attachment — attach supported document files (PDF, DOCX, etc.) to prompts for the agent to reason about
  • --connect flag — directly connect to a remote session by ID
  • Short session ID resume — use 7+ hex character prefixes with --resume / /resume instead of the full session ID
  • Session idle timeout — configurable via --session-idle-timeout (disabled by default)
  • Usage limit warnings — warnings at 75% and 90% of weekly quota

Copilot CLI v1.0.30 (2026-04-16)

  • /statusline command — customize which items appear in the CLI status bar (directory, branch, effort, context, quota); /footer is an alias

Copilot CLI v1.0.29 (2026-04-16)

  • COPILOT_AGENT_SESSION_ID env var — automatically available to shell commands and MCP servers for session correlation
  • Remote MCP type default — the type field can be omitted for remote HTTP MCP server configs (defaults to http)

Copilot CLI v1.0.25 (2026-04-13)

  • MCP registry installation — install MCP servers from the registry with guided configuration directly in the CLI (/mcp install)
  • /env command — show loaded environment details (instructions, MCP servers, skills, agents, plugins)
  • Remote session control — remote-control CLI sessions using --remote / /remote and --connect

Sections Updated

copilot-configuration-basics.md

  • Model Picker section: added auto model selection option
  • CLI settings table: added sessionIdleTimeout entry
  • CLI Session Commands section: added /statusline, /env, /remote/--remote/--connect, and short session ID resume

understanding-mcp-servers.md

  • New "Installing from the Registry" section under Finding MCP Servers: documents /mcp install guided flow
  • Configuration Fields section: added type field documentation noting it defaults to http for remote servers
  • COPILOT_AGENT_SESSION_ID: documented as automatically available to MCP servers and shell commands

understanding-copilot-context.md
