Windsurf’s canvas view is perfect for juggling multiple files and ideas. Pair it with Scout so every experiment gets vetted before it ships.

Create a shared canvas

  • Add a panel for your current Scout mission, including persona notes and critical paths.
  • Pin open tabs for affected code files alongside the latest Scout findings.
  • Use comments in Windsurf to assign fixes stemming from Scout’s report.

Run explorations without leaving flow

1

Stage a preview

Use Windsurf’s integrated terminals to spin up your app locally or deploy a branch preview.
2

Launch Scout

Send the preview link to Scout. Choose a timebox that matches the scope of your changes.
3

Apply feedback

As Scout findings arrive, keep them visible in your canvas and check them off as you address each issue.

Collaborate in real time

  • Invite teammates into the same Windsurf canvas so everyone sees the code and the quality feedback simultaneously.
  • Use Scout’s mentions to notify collaborators when you need validation or pairing on a tricky bug.
  • When you’re done, export the canvas and attach it to the completed Scout mission for future reference.
Running long-lived canvases? Schedule nightly Scout runs against the linked environment so the shared context always reflects current quality.
