About Next Edit

Support for this feature will be deprecated on March 31, 2026 for Indie, Standard Max, and Legacy plans. Enterprise plans will continue to be supported. Read more.
Next Edit helps you complete your train of thought by suggesting changes based on your recent work and other context. You can jump to the next edit and quickly accept or reject the suggested change with a single keystroke.

​
Using Next Edit

When Next Edit has a suggestion available, you will see a gutter icon and a summary of the change in gray at the end of the line. To jump to the next suggestion, press and after reviewing the change, press to accept or to reject. If there are multiple changes, press to accept and go to the next suggestion. By default, Next Edit will briefly highlight which parts of the existing code will change before applying the change and highlighting the new code. Use Undo () and Redo () to manually review the change. You can configure this behavior in your Augment extension settings.
