> 💡 **Not sure which model to choose?** Select `auto` when prompted. Copilot will automatically pick the best available model for each session based on the task. It's the simplest option and a great starting point.

> 💡 **Tip**: Some models cost more "premium requests" than others. Models marked **1x** (like Claude Sonnet 4.5) are a great default. They're capable and efficient. Higher-multiplier models use your premium request quota faster, so save those for when you really need them.

### Attaching Document Files

In addition to code files and images, you can attach supported **document files** (such as PDFs) to your prompts. This lets Copilot read and reason about the contents of documents alongside your code.

```bash
copilot

> @requirements.pdf @samples/book-app-project/ Does the book app satisfy these requirements?

> @architecture-diagram.pdf Summarize the key design decisions and check if @samples/book-app-project/ follows them
```

> 💡 **When is this useful?** Suppose you have a PDF of technical requirements, a design document, or a user manual. You can attach it directly so Copilot can understand the context without you having to copy-paste the contents manually.

> ⚠️ **Note**: Not all document formats are supported. PDFs are a common format that works well. If Copilot cannot read a file, try converting it to a plain text or Markdown format first.
