Users with two-factor authentication enabled can now begin the account recovery process from the password reset flow. Previously, the account password was needed to access 2FA account recovery, but passwords on 2FA-enabled accounts could only be reset with a valid second factor. If you lost your password and all of your second factors, you were locked out because you could not access account recovery. With this change, a user can recover their account as long as they can perform email verification and provide a recovery factor, such as an SSH key, PAT, or previously signed in device.
Once you have performed email verification and provided a recovery factor, your recovery will be manually reviewed by GitHub's support team, who will email you within three business days. If your request is approved, you'll receive a link that lets you disable 2FA on your account. After that, you can reset your password and regain access to your account.
In today’s update, we’re showing some love to our Copilot for Business admins with the release of the Copilot settings redesign and audit log integration!
💅🏻 Copilot for Business settings update
We’ve updated the Copilot for Business admin experience to provide an overview of important information and streamline the seat purchasing flow for Copilot. Quickly review the Copilot seats assigned and estimated charges at the top of the page, update your assignment settings without having to remember to hit a Save button, and verify the update to your bill when adding or removing users and teams.
🪵 Review Copilot updates with audit log integration
Tracing updates to settings or seat assignments is key to help admins troubleshoot unexpected behavior within their organizations. Until now, admins had to contact support to help understand changes but as of today, they can now review Copilot events by using the GitHub Audit Log. To ensure administrators can quickly review Copilot updates, we included a new filter titled “Copilot Activity”. Understand settings changes, policy updates, and seat addition/removals right from the Audit Log UI in your organization settings.
You can now view the project template that was used when a project was created. Once a template is used to create a new project, you can find and link back to the template from the project settings page in the “Templates” section. This allows you to reference the history of how a project was created and view any improvements made to the template since then.
You can also now use the CLI to mark a project as a template for members of your organization to use when getting started. The command will look like this:
gh project mark-template 1 --owner That-Lady-Dev
Check out the documentation for more details, and as well as the project CLI documentation to see all the possibilities of interacting with your projects from the terminal.
Be sure to drop a note in the feedback discussion to let us know how we can continue to improve project templates.
📜 Sticky group headers
Group headers are now sticky when scrolling through your project view. For example, if you have swimlanes on your board, scrolling to other columns and items will maintain the group name in view, making it easy for you to keep your place.
🎨 Updated colors for single select fields
The colors for single select fields have been updated, so you’ll now see the same colors within the field picker and on your project views.
➕ Create issues in board repository groups
You can now create issues when grouped by Repository on the board layout. Click Create new issue or start typing the title to get started.
📊 Updates to historical charts
Historical charts (available for GitHub Team and Enterprise Cloud plans) now show the state changes of your project items over time, allowing you to see how items have been opened and closed over time. This allows you to visualize the progress of your items over time, showing how much work has been completed and how much is left to do.
Historical charts no longer support a Group by field.
