What's new in Copilot CLI

Two beginner-friendly features were released in v1.0.32 (April 17, 2026) that were not yet documented in the course:

1. auto model selection

"Select auto as your model to let Copilot automatically pick the best available model for each session."

Beginners are often unsure which AI model to choose. The new auto option removes that friction entirely — Copilot picks the best model for you.

2. Attach document files to prompts

"Attach supported document files to prompts for the agent to read and reason about."

Previously, Chapter 02 covered @ file references and image paste. This new capability lets learners attach external documents (PDFs, Word files, etc.) as context — useful for requirements specs, design docs, or other reference material not in the codebase.


Course sections updated

Chapter 01 (01-setup-and-first-steps/README.md)

  • Switching Models section: Added a tip explaining the auto model option for beginners who don't want to manually select a model.

Chapter 02 (02-context-conversations/README.md)

  • Working with Images section (inside "Optional: Going Deeper"): Added a new "Attaching Document Files" sub-section explaining when and how to attach external documents to prompts, with an example using the book app project.
