1. A system, comprising:
- a display device;
a processor; and
a computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to;
in a first instance;
present a shared canvas on the display device;
modify the shared canvas responsive to user inputs directed to the shared canvas received from different users;
responsive to user commands received from the different users, retrieve different personal data items of the different users;
concurrently display the different personal data items on the shared canvas; and
save a copy of the shared canvas to personal data associated with an individual user; and
in a subsequent instance, retrieve the shared canvas from the personal data associated with the individual user and present the shared canvas on the display device with the different personal data items of the different users that were retrieved and concurrently displayed in the first instance.

Abstract
The description relates to a shared digital workspace. One example includes a display device and sensors. The sensors are configured to detect users proximate the display device and to detect that an individual user is performing an individual user command relative to the display device. The system also includes a graphical user interface configured to be presented on the display device that allows multiple detected users to simultaneously interact with the graphical user interface via user commands.
