What changed

New features found in Copilot CLI v1.0.61 – v1.0.62 (June 9–13, 2026)

Feature Release Beginner relevance
/settings — interactive dialog to browse and edit all user settings v1.0.61 ✅ High — replaces manual JSON editing for most users
Auto-load MCP servers from .github/mcp.json workspace config v1.0.61 ✅ High — makes team MCP sharing zero-effort
/app — open the GitHub app or a browser fallback v1.0.62 ✅ Medium — handy shortcut worth knowing

Features skipped as too advanced/niche for beginners: configuring subagent model/reasoning effort, skill loading from symlinks, BYOK/SDK provider changes, SPNEGO proxy auth.
