What's new in Copilot CLI (v1.0.71–v1.0.72, July 13–20 2026)

Three beginner-relevant changes were identified in the Copilot CLI releases published in the past 7 days and added to the course.


1. Plan mode now hard-blocks file edits (v1.0.71-2)

Release: v1.0.71-2 (July 15, 2026)

Plan mode now hard-blocks built-in tool calls that would modify the workspace, so the agent can no longer edit files or run mutating shell commands while planning.

Section updated: Chapter 01 — Mode 2: Plan Mode (01-setup-and-first-steps/README.md)

The "Key insight" paragraph now explicitly tells beginners that plan mode is read-only and won't touch their files until they approve. This removes a common worry for new users who aren't sure if Copilot will change their code immediately.


2. Multi-turn subagents are always enabled (v1.0.72-0)

Release: v1.0.72-0 (July 16, 2026)

Multi-turn subagents are always enabled, so you can send follow-up messages to running agents.

Section updated: Chapter 04 — Built-in Agents (04-agents-custom-instructions/README.md)

Added a new tip after the Task Agent table explaining that beginners can now open /tasks to send follow-up instructions to a running background agent — without waiting for it to finish.


3. copilot skill list marks disabled skills (v1.0.71-2)

Release: v1.0.71-2 (July 15, 2026)

Mark disabled skills in copilot skill list and its JSON output.

Section updated: Chapter 05 — Example: View Your Skills (05-skills/README.md)

Updated the copilot skill list code example to show a skill with a [disabled] label, and added a tip explaining what disabled skills are and why they appear.
