# Dawn Internal Usages
The `dawn-internal-usages` feature allows adding additional usage which affects how a texture is allocated, but does not affect frontend validation.
One use case for this is so that Chromium can use an internal copyTextureToTexture command to implement copies from a WebGPU texture-backed canvas to other Web platform primitives when the swapchain texture was not explicitly created with CopySrc usage in Javascript.
```
Usage:
wgpu::DawnTextureInternalUsageDescriptor internalDesc = {};
internalDesc.internalUsage = wgpu::TextureUsage::CopySrc;
wgpu::TextureDescriptor desc = {};
// set properties of desc.
desc.nextInChain = &internalDesc;
device.createTexture(&desc);
```
