Happy new year! We’ve got fresh Copilot Workspace updates for you this week, including the ability to add a new file directly to the file tree and reduced latency in the terminal.

Adding new files from file tree

You can now add a new file directly to the file tree, rather than having to modify the plan.

Error toggling

We’ve enabled an option to toggle errors on and off within your editor. This will allow you to hide errors when you’re not actively working on them.

Improved codespace creation

Now when you create a codespace, your codespace will be created in the region closest to you. This will improve the latency of your connection, providing a smoother experience while editing and using the terminal.

Accessibility improvements

Screen readers will now announce when suggestions are applied.

Bug fixes

Fixed a design regression where there was no border between the editor and the file.
