Description

Type: Bug

1) Ask copilot to update something in the code
2) Copilot automatically updates file in disk, without keep/undo UI

I expect to see a keep/undo UI like below:

Instead, it automatically makes the changes onto the disk like shown below without giving me the option to keep or undo the change
