After content exclusion changes propagate to VS Code, the Copilot icon indicates when Copilot has been disabled by a content exclusion.

  1. Open a file that you expect to be affected by your content exclusions.

    If a Copilot content exclusion applies to this file, the Copilot icon in the status bar has a diagonal line through it.

  2. Hover over the Copilot icon. A popup message tells you whether an organization or the parent repository disabled Copilot for this file.
