Canvases are two-way interactive — they can spin up new agent sessions, trigger workflows, and communicate back to Copilot. They can be scoped per user, project, or session, shared with teams, or published to the community via Awesome Copilot. The author demonstrates a personal hub canvas for tracking active repos, an Actions hub for monitoring and triggering workflows, and a tool submission canvas for Scott Hanselman's Tiny Tooltown. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I create a custom canvas in the GitHub Copilot app? Type the slash command /create canvas inside a new Copilot session and describe what you want, such as an issue triage tool with weighted scoring. The agent builds the canvas automatically, rendering a working UI you can interact with, save data locally, update GitHub issues, and leave comments without leaving the app. _Developers exploring agent-driven workflows can compare Copilot tooling changes on daily.dev._ ### Can GitHub Copilot canvases trigger new agent sessions or run GitHub Actions workflows? Yes, a canvas can be programmed to be two-way: clicking an option like refine the spec spins up a new agent session with a specific instruction, such as not implementing code and only refining a spec. Canvases can also display GitHub Actions workflows, show recent run details, and trigger a workflow run directly from the interface. _Track how agentic tooling like this reshapes CI workflows by following coding-agent news on daily.dev._ ### Where can I find community-built canvases for the GitHub Copilot app? Community canvases are published on Awesome Copilot, including a repo actions hub, a Tiny Tool Town submitter that scans a repository readme and license to auto-generate a submission page, a diagram canvas, and fun ones like a Pac-Man style token tracker and a five-game agent arcade. Canvases can be imported by URL with user, project, or session scope. _Developers picking agent tooling extensions can weigh community options surfaced on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Expanded technical preview availability for the GitHub Copilot app](https://daily.dev/posts/expanded-technical-preview-availability-for-the-github-copilot-app-w758b2dzo) · GitHub Changelog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments -
