Details

GitHub's October 10 Copilot for JetBrains release introduces enterprise-managed default model settings and a new switch to prevent Copilot and Claude MCP servers from starting automatically. This update gives teams control over when configured tools become active, while allowing enterprise admins to set the default agent model for new conversations.

The release also includes several chat and diagnostic improvements:

  • A Fix action available directly from diagnostic menus.
  • Enhanced message copy and edit controls.
  • Grouped turn navigation for better conversation flow.

A critical compatibility change accompanies these features: the release ends support for JetBrains IDE 2025.1, requiring some teams to upgrade their IDE before accessing the new Copilot features.
