Copilot usage metrics now identify active and passive Copilot code review users

Source: GitHub Changelog

Copilot usage metrics now indicate which users have Copilot code review (CCR) activity, and whether that activity was active or passive. Enterprise and organization admins can see how users engage with Copilot code review on daily and 28‑day user‑level reports, enabling a clearer picture of CCR adoption and engagement.

API response fields

used_copilot_code_review_active

Set to true when a user intentionally engaged with Copilot code review by:

• Assigning Copilot as a reviewer on a pull request.
• Requesting Copilot reviews again.
• Applying a CCR suggestion.

used_copilot_code_review_passive

Set to true when Copilot code review automatically ran on a user’s pull request (via a repo‑level policy), but the user did not interact with the review.

If a user has both active and passive CCR events on the same day, the active signal takes precedence.

You can learn more in our documentation about Copilot usage metrics.

Why this matters

• Measure real engagement, not just coverage. Distinguish between users who actively interact with Copilot code review and those whose pull requests are reviewed automatically but without engagement.
• Track adoption maturity. An admin can now say “100 % of my repositories are covered by CCR, and 60 % of my users engage with those reviews actively” instead of a single, undifferentiated active‑user count.
• Distinguish across Copilot surfaces. used_copilot_code_review_active / used_copilot_code_review_passive sit alongside used_agent (IDE agent mode) and used_copilot_coding_agent (CCA) for a complete view of adoption.
