Pull Request “Files Changed” Public Preview and Merge Experience – November 6 Updates
This update introduces several improvements to the new pull request “Files changed” page public preview, including batch applying suggested changes and new options to collapse page sections.

You can now apply multiple suggested changes at once, similar to the classic “Files changed” page. Add changes to the batch by clicking Add suggestion to batch and remove them with Remove from batch. When ready, click Commit suggestions to open a dialog where you can review the batch and update the commit message if needed.

Copilot now analyzes and groups related changes within a pull request, improving navigation and understanding of complex modifications. This grouping feature, available to Copilot Enterprise and Copilot Pro+ users from the new “Files changed” page, categorizes changes such as refactors, configuration updates, and test improvements.
