# Default Enablement of Copilot Features for Copilot Business and Enterprise By Steven Van ยท 2026-09-25 Enterprise and Business admins get one default setting for new Copilot features and models, taking effect October 22, 2026. Copilot Business and Enterprise admins can now set a single default policy for generally available [GitHub]() Copilot features and models, instead of configuring each one individually. It's found on the "AI Controls" page, under the Copilot subpage's "Default policy for new features" option, with a choice of Enabled, Disabled, or Let organizations decide. - The policy can be configured today, but it won't change what users actually see until **October 22, 2026**, when it starts applying to new and existing GA features left unconfigured. - It covers features on the enterprise's Features & clients page, plus the Copilot Code Review policy and the MCP servers in Copilot policy. - Features an admin has already explicitly enabled or disabled keep that setting; only unconfigured ones follow the new default. - Preview features remain opt-in, and existing opt-in choices carry over once a preview feature reaches GA. - A separate default policy for models is already active, though open-weight models and models not covered by GitHub's data retention agreement stay disabled regardless of the setting.
