Per v1.0.69-3 (2026-07-07), the /allow-all auto mode now requires experimental features to be active (/experimental on or --experimental). The previous AUTO_APPROVAL env var approach has been removed. Update the auto allow-all mode note in Copilot Configuration Basics to document the experimental mode requirement and activation steps.

Summary
After reviewing GitHub Copilot releases from the past 7 days (June 30 – July 7, 2026), the Learning Hub pages are remarkably up to date. The one gap found is that the
auto allow-allmode documentation in Copilot Configuration Basics was missing a critical behavioral change introduced in v1.0.69-3 (released July 7, 2026).What changed
Release v1.0.69-3 (2026-07-07):
The auto allow-all mode (added in v1.0.69-1) uses an LLM judge to evaluate each tool request and auto-approve safe ones. In v1.0.69-3 this mode was moved behind the experimental flag, and the previous
AUTO_APPROVALenvironment variable approach was removed entirely.Section updated
