 In addition to repository-wide custom instructions, specified in the `.github/copilot-instructions.md` file, Copilot Code Review now supports:
 
-* Path-specific custom instructions, specified in `.github/instructions/NAME.instructions.md` files.
+* Path-specific custom instructions, specified in `.github/instructions/**/NAME.instructions.md` files.
 * Custom instructions specified in the organization settings for Copilot.
 
 We have updated several articles in the GitHub documentation accordingly. We have also made changes to clarify the difference between the various types of custom instructions for Copilot Code Review, Copilot Chat, and Copilot Coding Agent.

+### Example: Azure DevOps
+
+The [Azure DevOps MCP server](https://github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-mcp) creates a seamless connection between {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} and your Azure DevOps services, including work items, pipelines or documentation.
+
+To use the Azure DevOps MCP server with {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %}, you must update the repository's copilot-setup-steps.yml file to include an Azure login workflow step.
+
+1. Configure OIDC in a Microsoft Entra application, trusting {% data variables.product.github %}. See [Use the Azure Login action with OpenID Connect](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/developer/github/connect-from-azure-openid-connect).
+1. Setup access to Azure DevOps organization and projects for the application identity. See [Add organization users and manage access](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/organizations/accounts/add-organization-users).
+1. Add a `.github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml` Actions workflow file in your repository if you do not already have one.
+1. Add an Azure login step to the `copilot-setup-steps` workflow job.
+   ```yaml copy
+   on:
+     workflow_dispatch:
+   permissions:
+     id-token: write
+     contents: read
+   jobs:
+     copilot-setup-steps:
+       runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+       permissions:
+         id-token: write
+         contents: read
+       environment: copilot
+       steps:
+         - name: Azure login
+           uses: azure/login@a457da9ea143d694b1b9c7c869ebb04ebe844ef5
+           with:
+             client-id: {% raw %}${{ secrets.AZURE_CLIENT_ID }}{% endraw %}
+             tenant-id: {% raw %}${{ secrets.AZURE_TENANT_ID }}{% endraw %}
+             allow-no-subscriptions: true
+   ```
+   This configuration ensures the `azure/login` action is executed when {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} runs.
+1. In your repository’s {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} environment, add secrets for your `AZURE_CLIENT_ID` and `AZURE_TENANT_ID`.
+1. Configure the Azure DevOps MCP server by adding an `ado` object to your MCP configuration with defined tools you want {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} to use.
+  ```json copy
+  {
+    "mcpServers": {
+      "ado": {
+        "type": "local",
+        "command": "npx",
+        "args": ["-y", "@azure-devops/mcp", "<your-azure-devops-organization>", "-a", "azcli"],
+        "tools": ["wit_get_work_item", "wit_get_work_items_batch_by_ids", ...]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+   ```
+
+
 ## Reusing your MCP configuration from {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %}
 
 If you have already configured MCP servers in {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode_shortname %}, you can leverage a similar configuration for {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %}.

		40 GB size limit for a Git repository ({% data variables.release-phases.public_preview %}): This limit applies only to the source code. To check if the repository archive is over the limit, use the [git-sizer](https://github.com/github/git-sizer) tool and review the total blob size in the output. The git-sizer tool also helps to identify potential issues related to large files, blob size, commit size, and tree counts that could impact migrations.
