Question

Your organization enabled the setting that blocks Copilot suggestions matching public code. A developer complains that Copilot still frequently produces working suggestions for their internal business logic, and asks whether the filter is actually functioning. How should you explain what this setting does?

Accepted Answer

The filter only suppresses suggestions that match publicly available code of about 150 characters or more; original suggestions that don't match public code are still shown normally.

Answer

The filter should block all suggestions until it is verified, so the developer should open a support ticket because it is misconfigured.

Answer

The filter scans and blocks any suggestion that resembles code from the organization's own private repositories, so internal logic should be suppressed.

Answer

The filter disables Copilot suggestions entirely for any file that contains proprietary business logic.
