- [nitpick] The label 'CURRENT-MODEL' may be unclear to users; consider using a more descriptive label or a variable substitution consistent with other sections.
1. In the bottom right of the chat view, select an AI model of your choice from the **CURRENT-MODEL** {% octicon "chevron-down" aria-hidden="true" %} dropdown menu.

Let me know if I shouldn’t add it, but it seems crucial because the article all about it.

We're very sparing with IMPORTANT, so let's leave this change out

Should we make it reusable data? It's repeated 4 times on the page.
Although there are a few other sentences that are also repeated, but they're not reusable data, so it's probably worth leaving as is.

Yes, they're not all identical, and this won't always be true, so we can resolve this 👍

And a side note: I couldn't find any mention of Claude 3.7 Sonnet Thinking, probably need to raise an issue for it. |

Why don't you have a variable with the product name for JetBrains IDEs? It seems like it's used a lot in the code.

Whilst this is true, we only use variables for our own products 😄

Thanks for raising this, @rakleed! We'll review it as soon as we can |

Also, GitHub Copilot Chat can be opened via Tool Window Bar on the right with one click.
Should I make it a separate sentence or add to the beginning of the first point?

We generally try to have an "opinionated" docs approach, so we stick to one recommended path
Since we don't control the JetBrains user experience, I'd recommend that we stick with one here and leave this out

Many thanks @rakleed, and thank you for your patience
We really appreciate you taking the time to submit these changes—I'm happy to approve and merge this, but we just need to make a few style-based edits first. If you'd rather that I take these in-house and credit you as co-committer, rather than you going through them, that's fine, just let me know
Thanks again!

I don't think we need to make all of these changes here—the product switcher will take care of helping the users understand where they're at. Let's change most of this back, but keep the second sentence:
For instructions on different clients, click the appropriate tab at the top of this page.
Also, I think there might be more places we now need to make this change in, that have been written in since this PR was created.
