Question

A developer is using Copilot Edits (edit mode) in VS Code to refactor a function across three files. After the model proposes changes, the developer notices that the edits to one of the three files introduce a bug, but the edits to the other two files are correct and desirable. What is the appropriate way to handle this in the Copilot Edits review workflow?

Accepted Answer

Accept the changes in the two correct files and discard (reject) the changes in the file with the bug, reviewing edits on a per-file basis before finalizing.

Answer

Discard the entire edit session, because Copilot Edits only allows accepting or rejecting all proposed changes together as a single atomic set.

Answer

Accept all changes and immediately commit, since Copilot Edits validates each edit against the test suite before proposing it.

Answer

Switch to Agent Mode, which is the only mode that supports reviewing and selectively accepting individual file edits.
