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](/copilot/concepts/about-customizing-github-copilot-chat-responses?tool=webui).
## 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**.
1. 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.
1. 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](https://github.com/copilot?ref_product=copilot&ref_type=engagement&ref_style=text) and start a conversation.
