How do I track multiple GitHub Copilot agent sessions and pull requests in one place?
Use the My work pane in the GitHub Copilot app, which centralizes pull requests and issues from repos you've interacted with in the app. It offers built-in views: All, Active (open items), Review requests (items awaiting your review), and Done (closed items), plus the ability to create custom filtered views using assignee, type, or other criteria. daily.dev surfaces workflow guides like this for developers juggling multiple Copilot sessions.
Can I start a new GitHub Copilot agent session directly from an existing issue or pull request?
Yes, selecting an issue or pull request in the My work pane and telling Copilot to work on it starts a new session using that item as context. Multiple items can be selected at once to create individual sessions or bundle related bug reports into a single session, and the target repository can be changed if the code lives elsewhere. developers automating their GitHub workflows can find more agent tooling walkthroughs on daily.dev.
