GitHub Unveils Enhanced Copilot Activity Report for Administrators
GitHub has recently announced the introduction of an enhanced Copilot activity report designed specifically for enterprise and organization administrators. This updated report offers a more comprehensive and timely overview of user authentication and feature adoption, surpassing the capabilities of its legacy counterpart.
The new and improved report includes several key enhancements, such as:
* Authentication tracking: A newly added field, last_authenticated_at, enables administrators to monitor when users last authenticated with Copilot.
* Enhanced surface details: The last_surface_used field now provides specific information about IDE versions and feature names used on github.com.
* Improved data freshness: Unlike the previous daily updates, the new report refreshes every 30 minutes, ensuring timely data availability.
In addition to these core enhancements, the activity report offers several additional benefits:
* Better license management: Administrators can effectively monitor Copilot usage through authentication timestamps.
* Adoption insights: The report facilitates the tracking of Copilot’s adoption and usage patterns.
* Timely data: The report is updated at intervals of up to 30 minutes, providing near-real-time insights.
* 90-day retention: Historical data is available for an extended period of 90 days, allowing for prolonged analysis.
The enhanced activity report is accessible via CSV download on the settings pages of github.com for both Enterprise and Organization administrators. Specifically, access can be found:
* For Enterprise administrators: Your enterprise → Policies → Copilot → Access
* For Organization owners: Your organization → Settings → Copilot → Access
* For Enterprise teams: Billing & Licensing → Licensing → Manage Seats
GitHub plans to discontinue the legacy usage report over a 90-day period, with the transition concluding on October 23, 2025. Administrators are encouraged to adopt the new activity report to maintain uninterrupted access to usage insights.
