Expected Outcome

These features come together to provide a seamless and efficient development experience that reduces friction and enhances productivity.

Copilot walkthroughs and contextual attachments (on by default) guide users through their tasks, making it easier to get started and stay on track. Edits auto-apply and new entry points for interacting with suggestions improve the speed at which developers can implement improvements, while inline model approval offers more control over code suggestions. Combined, these features allow developers to work smarter, save time, reduce errors, and maintain code more effectively, leading to faster development cycles, improved code quality, and a more intuitive user experience.
