{% data reusables.copilot.custom-instructions-org-support %}

Organization owners can add instructions for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}, to tailor responses to specific needs and preferences across the organization. For an overview of this, and other types of custom instructions for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}, see AUTOTITLE.

Adding organization custom instructions

You can add organization custom instructions via your organization settings.

{% data reusables.profile.access_org %} {% data reusables.profile.org_settings %}

  1. In the left sidebar, click {% octicon "copilot" aria-hidden="true" aria-label="copilot" %} {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} then click Custom instructions.

  2. Under "Preferences and instructions", add natural language instructions to the text box.

    You can write your instructions in any format you prefer. For example, you can write them as a single block of text, each on a new line, or separated by blank lines.

  3. Click Save changes. Your instructions are now active, and will stay active until you change or remove them.

To see your instructions in action, go to https://github.com/copilot and start a conversation.
