Developers can use updated GitHub Copilot canvas tooling to generate deep links that open new Copilot sessions and connect canvases directly to pull requests, issues, and related work items, reducing friction when moving between AI-assisted tasks and core engineering artifacts.
Engineers still decide when to launch sessions, which PRs or issues matter, and how to act on Copilot outputs. The feature speeds navigation and orchestration, but humans remain responsible for implementation, review, and decision-making.
A canvas can include deep links that open a Copilot session on a specific pull request so reviewers can summarize changes, inspect files, and prepare feedback without manual navigation.
GitHub Copilot app / GitHub Pull RequestsA planning canvas can link each GitHub issue to a fresh Copilot session so a developer can jump from backlog context into implementation with the relevant task already in view.
GitHub Copilot app / GitHub IssuesA triage canvas can route engineers into new Copilot sessions tied to related bugs, branches, or follow-up tasks, making parallel investigation and coordination faster from one workspace.

If you are creating Github Copilot app canvases, def check this out.
/create-canvas-app + canvas-kit can now generate deep links into the copilot app, so your canvas can easily do things like start new sessions, link to prs, issues, etc.
You can install the skill to github app via the jongio/skills marketplace.
