GitHub Copilot enterprise-managed settings now support an autoUpdate flag on extraKnownMarketplaces entries, letting admins opt individual plugin marketplaces into automatic updates. Supported clients will automatically check and update installed plugins from those marketplaces, provided they remain permitted by the strictKnownMarketplaces allowlist. This is generally available for Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise across the GitHub Copilot app, Copilot CLI, and Visual Studio Code.

How do I enable automatic updates for a Copilot plugin marketplace in enterprise managed settings?
Set autoUpdate: true on the corresponding extraKnownMarketplaces entry in enterprise managed settings. Supported clients then automatically check that marketplace and update installed plugins sourced from it, but the marketplace must still be permitted by the effective strictKnownMarketplaces allowlist. This is generally available for Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise. daily.dev helps admins rolling out Copilot marketplace policies keep pace with new enterprise controls.
Which GitHub Copilot clients support the autoUpdate setting for plugin marketplaces?
The autoUpdate setting for plugin marketplaces is generally available with Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise in the GitHub Copilot app, Copilot CLI, and Visual Studio Code. These clients automatically check the configured marketplace and update installed plugins sourced from it once the setting is enabled. Teams standardizing Copilot tooling across clients can track rollout details like this on daily.dev.
