- Who it helps
- Developers organizing repeated reviews, investigations and release checks.
- Availability
- Announced October 1 for the Copilot app, CLI and SDK in public preview. Current documentation excludes Pro and Pro+ subscribers on existing annual plans with legacy request billing. Usage consumes credits; eligibility should be checked against current docs.
What the saved process controls
A workflow can collect inputs, run tools, request agent analysis and pause for review. Reusing the program preserves the process, while the agents’ judgments can vary between runs.

Limits and permissions still matter
The documentation describes runtime and agent-count limits and an approximate credit limit that can be exceeded by work already underway. Subagents inherit session permissions; extension code can also run outside agent permission prompts.
What you can do
- Check current eligibility and the extension’s permissions, then inspect its stages before planning a small test. Open reference ↗
Where the evidence stops
No workflow was created or executed. This is a feature explanation; reliability and actual spend remain unmeasured.
