-## Co-Pilot Pull Request Reviews
+## Copilot Pull Request Reviews
 
 - When reviewing a pull request read the body of the pull request and identify the "Type of Work" and the "Topic".
 - If no "Type of Work" or "Topic" is checked in the task list or more than one "Type of Work" or more than one "Topic" is checked, leave a comment on the pull request asking the author to check exactly one "Type of Work" and exactly one "Topic" and do not perform a review.
