GitHub Copilot app adds canvases: build custom agent-shared workflows with /create-canvas
GitHub published a beginner tutorial on the Copilot app's canvas extensions: customizable, bidirectional interfaces (kanban boards, triage boards, dashboards) shared between user and agent. Users generate canvases in plain English via the /create-canvas skill, no coding required, and both agent and user can update the shared state live. The feature enables teams to shape tooling around their workflow rather than fixed screens.

AI Overview
- GitHub Copilot app canvases are bidirectional interfaces (kanban boards, triage boards, checklists) generated via the /create-canvas skill and saved as shareable or personal extensions
- Users and the agent share canvas state in real time—buttons, cards, and filters update instantly with no sync step, and the agent can use the same canvas actions
- Ready-made community canvas extensions, including release notes tools and issue triage workflows, are available through Awesome Copilot for customization

GitHub Copilot introduces canvas extensions for interactive development
GitHub Copilot launched canvas extensions, enabling developers to build interactive experiences directly within the Copilot app. The feature allows agents to handle tasks that go beyond conversational workflows, such as planning projects and automating workflows. Developers can get started via the GitHub Copilot app and refer to the official documentation.

GitHub Copilot app adds built-in diff, terminal, and browser panels for reviewing agent-made code changes
A GitHub Blog post in the 'Copilot app for Beginners' series walks through using the app's built-in diff, terminal, and browser panels to review, run, and preview AI agent-generated code without leaving the app. This consolidates the coding loop—review changes, execute commands, test UIs—into one place, letting developers accept changes and create pull requests directly.

GitHub launches dynamic workflows in Copilot CLI and the Copilot app
GitHub released dynamic workflows, programs that combine automated steps with one or more agents, now live in the Copilot CLI and Copilot app. Steps can run sequentially, in parallel, or mixed, aimed at complex multi-step tasks that need repeatable execution. GitHub says the feature began as an internal tool and is now publicly available with documentation and a changelog entry.
