Changelog September 2025

This month’s update zeroes in on control and safety when working with multiple files. Developers often edit across several files at once, but until now, saving those changes meant committing everything blindly. With this release, Codespell gives you the choice to accept or discard all multi-file edits directly from chat - ensuring you stay in control and avoid accidental saves.

Accept or Discard Multi-file Edits in Chat

When multiple files are updated from a single prompt, Codespell now displays all pending edits in one view. Before saving, you can decide whether to:

Accept All Changes: Commit the suggested edits across every file in one action.

Discard All Changes: Reject them entirely if they don’t align with your intent.

This prevents partial or unintended edits from slipping into your codebase and gives you the same peace of mind you’d expect from a version control review process.

accept or discard multi-file edits

That’s the September release - a small but powerful step toward more reliable, developer-first editing workflows. By making file-level control seamless inside chat, Codespell ensures your team’s codebase stays intentional and error-free.
