GitHub Copilot Business and Enterprise admins have until 22 October to choose what new Copilot features do by default.

A new global policy under AI Controls → Copilot sets whether eligible generally available features are Enabled, Disabled, or left to organizations. It also covers the Copilot Code Review policy and the MCP servers in Copilot policy.1 It has no effect until 22 October; from then, every eligible feature still marked Unconfigured follows the global default. Explicit choices are kept and previews stay opt-in.1

The changelog does not say what an enterprise that selects nothing will get.1

Use it

Pick a default this week, and set MCP servers and Code Review explicitly so neither depends on the global setting.
