| 1. **Copy and paste into the terminal** - Copy the code from Copilot's response and paste it into the Terminal tab in the review panel, just as you do above. | ||
| 2. **Run directly from the response** - Copilot's response may include a **Run** button next to Bash or PowerShell code snippets. Click it to execute the snippet directly in the session's terminal without copying and pasting. The terminal reuses the existing shell when available, so environment state and working directories carry over between runs. | ||

| This direct execution is useful when you want to quickly validate a command without manually typing it, especially for longer or more complex snippets. |
