- Chapter 06: Add /mcp list to the slash commands reference table. Released in v1.0.69-1 (2026-07-04), /mcp list shows currently attached MCP servers and can be run while Copilot is working, complementing the existing /mcp show command. - Chapter 04: Add @-style imports section under Custom Instruction Files. Released in v1.0.66 (2026-06-30), users can now reference other files inside AGENTS.md or instruction files with @filepath syntax, letting teams keep instructions modular and well-organized.

What's New in the Copilot CLI
The following beginner-relevant features were released in the past 7 days and are now documented in the course:
1.
/mcp listslash command — v1.0.69-1 (2026-07-04)A new
/mcp listslash command was added that shows currently attached MCP servers and their status. Unlike/mcp show(which lists all configured servers),/mcp listfocuses on the servers actively attached to your session. It can also be run while Copilot is in the middle of a task.2.
@-style imports in instruction files — v1.0.66 (2026-06-30)AGENTS.md,
.github/copilot-instructions.md, and other instruction files now support@filepathsyntax to include content from other files. This lets teams keep a short top-levelAGENTS.mdthat references focused instruction files rather than cramming everything into one long file.Course Sections Updated
