Another reviewer must approve the pull request before it can be merged.\n\nTo request changes from Copilot on its pull request, mention `@copilot` in a comment, or push commits directly to the branch. For more information, see [Using Copilot cloud agent on GitHub](/en/copilot/how-tos/use-copilot-agents/cloud-agent/use-cloud-agent-on-github).\n\n## Manage GitHub Actions workflow runs\n\nBy default, GitHub Actions workflows will not run automatically when Copilot pushes changes to a pull request.\n\nGitHub Actions workflows can be privileged and have access to sensitive secrets. Inspect the proposed changes in the pull request and ensure that you are comfortable running your workflows on the pull request branch. You should be especially alert to any proposed changes in the `.github/workflows/` directory that affect workflow files.\n\nTo allow GitHub Actions workflows to run, click the **Approve and run workflows** button in the pull request's merge box.\n\n![Screenshot of the merge box on a pull request from Copilot with the \"Approve and run workflows\" button.](/assets/images/help/copilot/cloud-agent/approve-and-run-workflows.png)\n\nOptionally, you can configure Copilot cloud agent to allow GitHub Actions workflows to run without human intervention. For more information, see [Configuring settings for GitHub Copilot cloud agent](/en/copilot/how-tos/use-copilot-agents/cloud-agent/configuring-agent-settings).\n\n## Give feedback on Copilot's work\n\nUse the feedback buttons on Copilot's pull requests and comments to rate the output. Your feedback helps improve Copilot's quality.\n\n1. On a pull request or comment from Copilot, click the thumbs up (:+1:) or thumbs down (:-1:) button.\n2. If you click the thumbs down button, optionally select a reason and leave a comment, then click **Submit feedback**.\n\n## Further reading\n\n* [Best practices for using GitHub Copilot to work on tasks](/en/copilot/tutorials/cloud-agent/get-the-best-results)\n* [Troubleshooting GitHub Copilot cloud agent](/en/copilot/how-tos/use-copilot-agents/cloud-agent/troubleshoot-cloud-agent)"}
