GitHub adds 'My work' dashboard to organize Copilot tasks and manage agent sessions across repositories

GitHub has detailed its new 'My work' dashboard within the GitHub Copilot application, designed to consolidate requests and tasks across projects into a single central space. The interface is intended to help developers track active, completed, and pending work across bug fixes, pull request reviews, and new feature planning while delegating multiple tasks to the AI agent.

The dashboard includes several default views to sort tasks immediately, starting with 'All', which aggregates all pull requests and issues from repositories accessed within the Copilot app. The interface also provides an 'Active' view for open items, a 'Review requests' view filtered to pull requests requiring user review, and a 'Done' view for closed items, with new repositories added to the list as soon as a session references them.

Developers can construct custom views and filters, using either bracketed query syntax or direct graphical controls.Users can create and name custom views, apply specific filters such as restricting results to issues assigned to their account, adjust chronological sorting to show older items first, and save or revert changes as needed.

The platform also allows developers to switch between a default card-based list view for quick scanning and a table view that supports custom column selection, reordering, and resizing, with the option to reset the layout and return to the list view at any time.

The core of the update is the direct integration between issues and AI agent sessions.Developers can open any issue or pull request and start a new session immediately, allowing Copilot to execute tasks using the context of that item. The interface also supports selecting multiple items via an actions menu to create separate sessions for distinct features, or grouping related bug reports into a single shared session, while allowing the target repository to be changed if an issue is tracked in a different repository from the codebase.

The dashboard also features a top-level repository scope filter limited to interacted projects, alongside a button to create new issues directly from the board and launch instant sessions, helping engineering teams structure tasks and direct agent workflows toward pressing priorities.
