Managing issues in Slack

With the GitHub integration in Slack, you can comment on, edit, and close issues directly from Slack. You must be connected to the GitHub app in Slack and have the necessary permissions to manage issues in the relevant repository.

*
In Slack, under the preview of the issue you want to manage, select the appropriate action:

*
To comment on the issue, click Comment . In the dialog, type your comment and click Post .

*
To edit the issue title or description, click Edit . In the dialog, update the title or description as needed and click Save .

*
To close the issue, click Close issue . In the dialog, confirm that you want to close the issue by clicking Close issue again.

Note

If you do not see these options, you may not have the necessary permissions to manage issues in the repository.

Alternatively, you can ask GitHub Copilot to manage issues by @mentioning @GitHub in your channel or in a direct message.
