, I can open a Canvas side‑by‑side and work on long‑form content there.

, Canvas is also visible as part of the authoring experience.

 that produces long Markdown outputs (multi‑section documents), the resulting chat message:

 (no “Open in Canvas” or equivalent in the UI).

 in the prompt such as “open this in Canvas”, “display this in Canvas”, or “edit this in Canvas” (it just returns Markdown in the chat window).

From a user experience point of view, this creates friction: the only way to get Agent output into Canvas is to copy/paste manually, which is not obvious or scalable for non‑technical users.

For long‑form Agent responses (multi‑section Markdown documents, frameworks, or plans), I expected:

 in the UI (similar to export to Word/Email) to open that response as a Canvas document.

 like “move this draft to Canvas” by targeting Canvas as the editing surface.

Agent runs successfully and returns valid Markdown.

Canvas‑related instructions inside the Agent prompt are effectively ignored: the Agent cannot open, edit, or display content in Canvas, and it only ever responds in the chat.

Reads some internal docs (via Glean tools) and

Run a query that triggers the long‑form document output (e.g., “Generate a growth & development plan…” or similar).

The Agent returns multi‑section Markdown as expected.

In the same chat, ask the Agent things like:

“Display this output as a Canvas document.”

Continues to respond only with chat/Markdown,

Often explains that it can’t control Canvas / UI.

 (i.e., Agents cannot programmatically target Canvas and their outputs are not eligible for “Open in Canvas” actions)?

 for Agent responses (similar to Word/Email), or

 that agents can write to (for long‑form documents and frameworks)?

This would significantly improve the experience for users who want to standardize long‑form outputs (plans, frameworks, specs) via Agents but still get the richer Canvas editing experience without manual copy/paste.

Thanks in advance for any guidance or roadmap details.
