GitHub explains how to migrate Copilot app sessions to VS Code

GitHub published a how-to post on migrating Agent sessions from the GitHub Copilot app to VS Code. According to the post, the conversation history, code changes, and working context are all preserved during migration: a task started in the Copilot app can be continued directly in VS Code without rebuilding the session from scratch. The post does not give specific version numbers, button names, or migration steps. The developers affected are those using Agent sessions in the GitHub Copilot app. Previously, moving a task started in the lightweight app into the editor often meant re-describing context or manually syncing changes; per this post, that content travels with the session, lowering the cost of handing off between tools. However, the post does not describe the migration trigger, supported scope, or limitations, so actual results still depend on real-world use.
