## Tasks and requests {#eslate-capabilities-common__section-inbox}

Access pending requests, review items that need your attention, and track the status of your submitted requests without switching between different applications. For more information, see [Tasks and requests](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Bc6VgZVi7csPRBhRxH949Q "Tasks and requests provides a unified interface for managing tasks, approvals, and action items.").

## Canvas {#eslate-capabilities-common__section-canvas}

You can create personalized dashboard views with widgets that display the information most relevant to your role. The Canvas adapts to your workflow and priorities.

Customize your workspace with widgets for quick access to frequently used tools, recent documents, team updates, and key performance indicators. For more information, see [Personalized canvas](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/jtC6DNlnBcpmLzd9rqN95w "Build a personal canvas that brings together AI-generated widgets, role-specific content, and curated tools in a single layout. Administrators govern the canvas through configurations and a widget library.").
