Now, in the preview channel, you can attach images in<\/span> GitHub Copilot<\/span> chat to help you <\/span>illustrate <\/span>your ideas<\/span> effectively and get the best <\/span>responses<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Upload<\/a><\/p>\n

Imagine working on a UI development task where describing a design or layout through text just doesn’t cut it. Or perhaps you’re debugging an issue and need to share a screenshot of an error state or message. Starting in 17.13 Preview channels, you can now paste an image from your clipboard or use the paperclip icon in the chat window to upload your image directly from your file explorer. Simply add your prompt text and send! Copilot will analyze the image and use it as additional context to generate a better response.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Vision<\/a><\/p>\n

In this <\/span>simple <\/span>example, Copilot was able to <\/span>interpret the attached image<\/span> context as a colorful <\/span>breakout game<\/span>. <\/span> Combining that request with <\/span>the open file<\/span> and the loaded project, Copilot can create a plan and suggest code to scaffold an entire working project from scratch. When combined with the<\/span> iteration<\/span> power of <\/span><\/span>Copilot edits<\/span><\/span><\/a>, even more is possible with existing code bases. Check out this <\/span>clip <\/span>of the Microsoft Ignite session that previewed this functionality<\/span> to see it in action.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
