What new features or changes were found
Reviewed Copilot CLI releases from the past 7 days (April 12–19, 2026). The following beginner-friendly features were added in v1.0.32 (released April 17, 2026) but were not yet documented in the course:
automodel selection — Users can now selectautowhen choosing a model, and Copilot will automatically pick the best available model for each session. This is ideal for beginners who aren't sure which model to choose.Document file attachments — Copilot can now read and reason about supported document files (like PDFs) attached to prompts via the
@syntax. This complements the existing image and code file support.Other new features from this period (
/ask,/statusline,copilot plugin marketplace update) were already documented in the course. Advanced features (--connect,--session-idle-timeout,--print-debug-info) were intentionally excluded as they are not appropriate for a beginner course.What sections of the course were updated
