GitHub Issues: Dashboard updates

🌐 New and improved Issues dashboard

You’ll now see an updated Issues dashboard page at github.com/issues, allowing you to easily find and create issues across repositories and organizations. This page can be accessed through the global navigation menu under Issues.

These improvements include:

  • A new filter bar with autocomplete and syntax highlighting to make building searches fast and easy.
  • The ability to perform advanced searches using AND and OR keywords as well as nested searches. For example, (org:github AND type:bug) OR (org:dizzbot AND has:sub-issue) allows you to find issues across multiple organizations. Note that a space between filter fields acts as an AND search.
  • The ability to create issues directly from this page by selecting New issue and choosing a repository.
  • A new Recent activity view in addition to the Created by me, Assigned to me, and Mentioned views. This view finds relevant issues that involve you.

Copilot Chat on github.com adds support for images

The immersive mode of Copilot Chat on GitHub now supports image upload and analysis when using 4o, adding powerful multimodal capabilities to your development workflow. This feature was previously exclusively available on VS Code and Visual Studio.

✨ What’s new?

  • 🔗 Image upload & analysis: Upload, paste, or drag images directly into Copilot conversations.
  • 🧠 Visual context understanding: Ask questions about code screenshots, UI designs, system diagrams, and more.
  • ⚡ Image to code: Generate HTML files based on images and preview them in the side panel.

With so much of the software development lifecycle happening through images, diagrams, and other visual artifacts, we hope this release brings you closer to communicating and collaborating with Copilot in ways that mirror how you naturally think and work.

💬 Let us know what you think using the in-product feedback option or pop into the GitHub Community at any time.

Scheduled Codespaces maintenance – April

Codespaces will be undergoing maintenance in all regions starting from 17:00 UTC on Wednesday, April 2 to 17:00 UTC on Thursday, April 3. Maintenance will begin in Southeast Asia, Central India, Australia Central, and Australia East regions. Once it is complete, maintenance will start in UK South and West Europe, followed by East US, East US2, West US2, and West US3. Each batch of regions will take approximately three to four hours to complete.

During this time period, users may experience connectivity issues with new and existing Codespaces.

If you have uncommitted changes you may need during the maintenance window, you should verify they are committed and pushed before maintenance starts. Codespaces with any uncommitted changes will be accessible as usual once maintenance is complete.
