GitHub Copilot app for Beginners: How to build custom workflows with canvases

GitHub explains canvases in the GitHub Copilot app: customizable, bidirectional interfaces such as kanban boards, checklists, or dashboards that you create by entering the /create-canvas skill in an agent session and describing the workflow in plain English. The agent builds the interface in the right-side panel, and both you and the agent can update its shared state immediately without a separate sync step. Canvases are saved as extensions for reuse or team sharing, and ready-made ones are available through Awesome Copilot.
