# Docs changelog
**24 September 2025**
Until now, assigning Copilot coding agent to an issue was limited to the same repository as the issue.
You can now:
* Assign Copilot coding agent to work in a different repository, supporting workflows where issues and code files are managed separately.
* Provide additional instructions to tailor the agent's output to your requirements.
* Choose the base branch for the agent to use.
These changes provide a more flexible, transparent, and user-friendly experience for managing automated coding tasks with Copilot coding agent.
See the updated docs: [Using GitHub Copilot to work on an issue](https://docs.github.com/copilot/how-tos/use-copilot-agents/coding-agent/assign-copilot-to-an-issue#assigning-an-issue-to-copilot).

- "[Troubleshooting common issues with GitHub Spark](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/troubleshoot-copilot/troubleshoot-spark)"

By default, data stored in Spark is shared across all users of the app. You can choose to publish your app as "read-only" if you want to showcase your app to others, but you don't want others to be able to edit or delete any stored data.
We've updated the [Spark documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/tutorials/build-apps-with-spark) accordingly.

Copilot Chat in VS Code includes a "Manage models" option which allows you to add models from a variety of LLM providers, such as Azure, Anthropic, Google, and xAI. By installing the AI Toolkit for VS Code, you can install even more models from the "Manage models" option. We've updated the documentation to include details of how to use this new feature.
