Copilot canvases turn an agent session into a shared interface

GitHub’s Copilot app can build a shared canvas from a workflow description: a release checklist, issue board or form. Both the reader and the agent change the same state through its controls, so moving a card does not need another chat message. The interface is saved as an extension that can stay personal or live with a project.

Why it matters

A structured board can make ongoing agent work easier to inspect and steer.

More context

In a Copilot app session, try /create-canvas with one small checklist. Specify what you want to see, which changes you can make, and which actions the agent should perform. This is a usage guide, not a newly verified launch date.
