These include easier access to your recent conversations in chat, the ability to minimize the chat window and return to an in-progress conversation, and indicators that help you track your Copilot token spend.\n\n[Minimize and resume conversations](#minimize-and-resume-conversations)\n\nWe’ve improved the chat overlay experience by adding two new features.\n\nThe first is the ability to minimize the screen during a conversation. This allows you to browse GitHub while waiting for a Copilot response.\n\nThe second is the ability to more easily view and continue your recent conversations.\n\n[Monitor your token usage](#monitor-your-token-usage)\n\nWe’ve also added token spend indicators in chat. Clicking on the token spend icon lets you see your per-session and per-message quota, allowing you greater visibility into your token spend and budget.\n\nThese features are generally available to all Copilot plans.\n\nTry it out at [github.com/copilot](https://github.com/copilot).", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/copilot-on-web-expands-conversation-controls", "canonical_source": "https://github.blog/changelog/2026-08-10-copilot-on-web-expands-conversation-controls", "published_at": "2026-08-10 14:27:04+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-10 15:35:09.560978+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["GitHub", "Copilot Chat"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/copilot-on-web-expands-conversation-controls", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/copilot-on-web-expands-conversation-controls.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/copilot-on-web-expands-conversation-controls.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/copilot-on-web-expands-conversation-controls.jsonld"}}
