Description
Product change
- Source: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/335431
- Merged: 2026-09-10T15:50:42Z
The Agents Window uses one Create PR form for title and description, draft status, manual merge behavior, GitHub auto-merge and merge method, or session-specific Agent Merge options. Users can also send the selected PR details to session chat instead of creating the pull request programmatically.
Why the docs need an update
docs/agents/run/agents-window.md still documents a separate Create Draft PR & Agent Merge action and does not describe the unified form, GitHub auto-merge choices, remembered options, or chat submission alternative.
Suggested documentation
docs/agents/run/agents-window.md: Replace the stale pull request creation workflow with the unified form and explain mutually exclusive merge choices and the chat alternative.
Acceptance criteria
- Pull request creation uses the current control names and workflow.
- Draft, GitHub auto-merge, merge-method, Agent Merge, and chat-submission behavior is accurate.
- The documentation distinguishes GitHub auto-merge from Agent Merge.
