Understanding the solar cycle and its variability requires full views of the Sun. Solar magnetic activity arises from interactions of flows and fields within the convection zone and across the surface. Full Sun observations allow us to more effectively probe both interior dynamics and surface magnetic phenomena. With long-term datasets from SDO/HMI, SOHO/MDI, and GONG, and new high latitude and far-side vantages provided by Solar Orbiter and STEREO, we are able to better investigate the global magnetic activity via advances in helioseismology, modeling, and data assimilation. These capabilities will be further expanded by the Vigil mission and the Solar Polar mission recommended by the Decadal Survey. This session welcomes studies that address the physical processes governing the solar activity cycle across all vantage points, from tachocline to the convection zone and through the surface. Contributions from the solar community, including the COFFIES DRIVE Science Center, are welcome.
