What's new in Copilot CLI (v1.0.71–v1.0.72, July 13–20 2026)
Three beginner-relevant changes were identified in the Copilot CLI releases published in the past 7 days and added to the course.
1. Plan mode now hard-blocks file edits (v1.0.71-2)
Release: v1.0.71-2 (July 15, 2026)
Section updated: Chapter 01 — Mode 2: Plan Mode (
01-setup-and-first-steps/README.md)The "Key insight" paragraph now explicitly tells beginners that plan mode is read-only and won't touch their files until they approve. This removes a common worry for new users who aren't sure if Copilot will change their code immediately.
2. Multi-turn subagents are always enabled (v1.0.72-0)
Release: v1.0.72-0 (July 16, 2026)
Section updated: Chapter 04 — Built-in Agents (
04-agents-custom-instructions/README.md)Added a new tip after the Task Agent table explaining that beginners can now open
/tasksto send follow-up instructions to a running background agent — without waiting for it to finish.3.
copilot skill listmarks disabled skills (v1.0.71-2)Release: v1.0.71-2 (July 15, 2026)
Section updated: Chapter 05 — Example: View Your Skills (
05-skills/README.md)Updated the
copilot skill listcode example to show a skill with a[disabled]label, and added a tip explaining what disabled skills are and why they appear.Source announcements
