View and iterate on generated files directly within Copilot chat (Preview)

You can now view and iterate on generated files directly within Copilot chat on GitHub. File suggestions open in a side panel, making it faster than ever to preview and refine your generated code.

What’s new:

• Quick file iteration: When Copilot chat suggests files, they open immediately for closer inspection.
• Convenient previews: Markdown files render directly inside the side panel.
• Support for more formats: We’re just getting started, expect additional file types and capabilities soon.

Try it out:

• Build an HTML fan page dedicated to Mona the GitHub Octocat mascot.
• Generate a Markdown file with a curated list of essential VS Code extensions for developers.
• Create a Markdown file with a list of top 10 GitHub repositories to follow in 2025.
