Asks fields and Triage routing

Asks fields

Customize your intake forms for Asks. Let users set priority, customer, or due date and allow them to upload files when submitting new Asks. Additionally, you can expose any label group as a dropdown field to help with up-front categorization.

Asks fields can be added to any existing issue template.

Triage routing

Automatically route Triage issues to the right team or assignee based on predefined rules. You can create triggers from nearly any combination of parameters including the priority, creator, template, project, due date or SLA status, then choose how the issue should be processed. Use rules to:

  • Assign issues to specific members or agents
  • Mark specific issues as high-priority
  • Move issues to their appropriate teams

Configure Triage rules from Team settings > Triage.

When combined, Asks fields and Triage routing eliminate manual work and help you scale intake workflows. Users fill out what they know and automations send the issue to the right team or assignee.

Asks is available on business and enterprise plans. Triage routing is available on enterprise plans. To try either of these features, start an enterprise trial.

Linear for Agents

Linear for Agents

Build and deploy AI agents in Linear that work alongside you as teammates.

Agents are first-class users in Linear. Assign them to issues, add them to teams and projects, and @mention them in comments – just like any other member of your workspace. Each agent has a full user profile and is clearly identified as an app user, so you can see what they are working on and track their progress.

Seek to:00:00 / 

Today, we’re launching with a first set of agents, each designed to support a different part of the product development lifecycle:

  • Devin scopes issues and drafts PRs
  • ChatPRD writes requirements, manages issues, and gives feedback
  • Codegen builds features, debugs issues, and answers codebase questions

For a full list of available agents, head over to our Linear for Agents page. We’ll continue adding more to our Integration Directory over time, including upcoming agents from partners like Sentry and Intercom, which will be available very soon.

In addition to deploying third-party agents, you can also build your own. Agents you create can be used privately within your own workspace or submitted to the Integration Directory to share with the broader Linear community. To get started, check out the new Agent API in our Developer Docs and join the #api-agents channel in our community Slack to connect with other developers building agents.

LLM summaries for document content changes

We now generate AI summaries for document changes, so you can quickly see what’s been updated. These summaries appear in inbox, email, and Slack notifications for document and project description changes. We automatically filter out minor changes that fix grammar, styling, or typos.

Sortable column headers

Click on a column header in any list view to re-order the list by that column. Click again on a sorted column header to update the sorting direction. This is supported on lists views such as projects, initiatives, and the members page in settings.

  • Duplicate breadcrumb entries are no longer created when editing and saving custom views
  • Fixed desktop push notifications
  • Fixed an issue with contextual sub-menus opening the incorrect menu in some cases
  • Clicking on a milestone from the project sidebar while in the Customers tab now correctly redirects to the Issues tab
  • Fixed a problem where cross-workspace links contained query parameters
  • Fixed a bug causing double notifications for breached SLAs
  • Starting a new search while having a result selected works again
  • You now see a correctly filtered list of teams, statuses, etc. when editing custom view filters
  • Improved performance when editing text in large tables
  • Improved performance when dragging columns and rows in large tables
  • Improved performance for large documents during collaborative editing
  • Improved the performance of the teams filter in the initiatives view
  • Documents from initiatives are now included in the "Open Document" menu

Custom feeds in Pulse

Custom feeds in Pulse

Create custom feeds in Pulse to focus on a targeted subset of updates. Filter recent updates by author, team, project, initiative, status, and more—then save as a personalized custom feed for future access. These custom feeds are only visible to you and not shared with others.

Projects in Google Sheets

Our Google Sheets integration now supports syncing project data in addition to issues. Projects sync to their own dedicated Google Sheet and include all key project properties like status, priority, target date, lead, customer request count, etc. Use this sheet to power external analysis and workflows.

To get started, enable the Linear Google Sheets integration from settings and toggle on Sync projects. To get an idea of how to use the synced sheet, see a basic example here.

New media players

We’ve redesigned our video player and added a new audio player to improve the media experience in Linear. Drop a video or audio file into an issue, document, or comment to try it out.

Both players support custom controls for adjusting the playback rate, changing volume, and downloading the file. Dozens of new keyboard shortcuts let you control the playback including:

  • Seeking ←→ by percent 1234567890 and by frame ,.
  • Volume ↑↓ and mute M
  • Playback rate <>
  • Fullscreen F and picture-in-picture P

Mobile apps: Customer requests

The latest mobile release brings full support for viewing customer requests on the go. Browse requests linked to projects and issues, open customer pages to view all of their requests and mark them as favorites.

Customer Requests on projects

Customer Requests on projects

We recently introduced Customer Requests to allow you to bring the voice of your customer directly into your issues. Now customer requests can be added to projects as well, so you can capture product feedback and connect customer needs with your roadmap and planning processes.

Seek to:00:00 / 

Add a customer request from the project overview page and a new Customers tab will appear. In one consolidated view, you'll see requests captured at the project level as well as those related to issues within the project. Filter and sort these requests to focus on the most relevant feedback as you build features and make product decisions.

Use customer requests to align your planning process to real demand. In any project view, you can display and organize projects by customer count and revenue. To target a specific segment of customers, filter by attributes like customer size or status.

Customer subscriptions

Stay informed about the customers you care about the most. Open a specific customer page and select the bell icon to subscribe to notifications.

You can be notified when the customer submits new requests, when one of their requests is marked as important, or when any of their requested issues and projects ships. Access notifications and review requests from desktop, iOS, and Android.

Introducing Pulse — your personalized feed for what’s happening across your company

Introducing Pulse — your personalized feed for what’s happening across your company

Today, we’re launching Pulse, a new way to stay in sync with your product organization through a personalized, realtime feed of updates and discussions.

Seek to:00:00 / 

As companies grow, answering the simple question “What’s happening right now?” becomes increasingly hard. Information is spread across tools, projects, and teams, making it difficult to get a clear, high-level view.

Pulse changes that by bringing relevant updates from across your Linear workspace into a single unified feed. It’s tailored to the workstreams that are most relevant to you, and makes it easy to dive deeper into the projects, initiatives, or teams behind each update.

Tailored for you

You'll see your own personalized feed inside Pulse called "For me", showing updates from projects and initiatives you are subscribed to or a member of. "Popular" and "Recent" show updates from across your entire company, providing a broader perspective and helping you stay informed about what's happening beyond your immediate focus.

A personal AI-generated summary of updates will be delivered daily or weekly to your Linear inbox. You can read it or listen to your Daily Pulse as a short audio digest for catching-up on the go. Audio is available on desktop and iOS, with Android support coming soon.

Pulse is available today on all plans. To enable it for your workspace and change the frequency of your inbox summaries, head to Pulse settings.

Pulse extends Linear’s vision of being the source of truth for your product organization by providing information that is timely, visible, and actionable.

  • When moving issues to private teams, we now show a warning if the assignee is not part of the new team
  • Select menus now do not jump around when being scrolled to the bottom
  • Workspace admins are now allowed to delete project and initiative updates made by other users
  • The "Show empty columns" option now respects status filters, ensuring only filtered status columns are displayed even when empty
  • Fixed an issue where zero-point estimates in the template were not respected when creating an Ask
  • Fixed double-clicking in the search field no longer maximizing the window
  • Fixed a rare crash when grouping issues by status
  • Disabled property controls for archived projects
  • Fixed copying the URL on the project page not copying filter and view option values
  • Fixed how business day SLAs are calculated when set by the rule
  • Removed the ability to convert a regular label into a group label by setting it as the parentId on another label. Group labels can only be created by passing in the isGroup: true parameter during label creation.
April 10, 2025

New search

New search

We've completely overhauled Linear's search with a new engine built from scratch. Under the hood, we replaced the traditional keyword-based search index with a new hybrid semantic search, which combines AI vector embeddings with keyword-matching. Even if you don't use the exact phrasing from an issue title or description, the hybrid engine will infer what you mean and find the results you are looking for.

Search is also more comprehensive. When you look for an issue, for example, Linear search will pull in context from attached customer requests, comments, and linked support tickets.

New search will be rolling out to all Linear users over the coming weeks. You'll receive an in-app notification once it's available in your workspace.

Quick filters for search

Available now: quickly narrow your search by @-mentioning teams, users, status, and other properties. This will automatically create and apply a filter to your search without your hands leaving the keyboard.

Granular permissions for API keys

Personal API keys now support fine-grained permission controls. Instead of keys inheriting all your permissions, you can tailor access to specific use cases.

  • Restrict keys to individual teams you have access to (public or private)
  • Set keys to read-only or write-only
  • Limit permissions to specific actions such as creating issues

This is a more secure approach since it minimizes each key's access surface. Configure permissions when creating new API keys or manage existing ones in Settings > Account > Personal API Keys.

  • Fixed a bug that allowed posting empty comments
  • When creating a comment in the search split screen view, it now remains in place when opening the issue in full screen
  • Fixed an issue where backspacing the first character of a word also removed the space before it when editing the name of a custom view

  • Deprecated a few UserUpdateInput fields. admin has been ignored for quite some time, and active should be replaced with userSuspend/userUnsuspend mutations.
  • Added support for PKCE flow for OAuth authentication without a client secret
  • Fixed updating issues that have a parent issue in a team pending deletion
April 3, 2025

Collapsed issue history

Collapsed issue history

When there’s a lot of activity in an issue, it’s easy to lose track of important changes. To reduce clutter and keep the issue activity feed focused, we now group similar consecutive events and collapse older activity between comment threads.

Seek to:00:00 / 

Sub-issue display options

Customize how sub-issues appear when viewed from parent issues. For example, update the list to only show properties relevant to you or hide completed sub-issues to focus on remaining work. Your preferences will be applied across all issues you view.

Project group order

When viewing issue lists grouped by project, customize the order in which these groups are displayed.

Collapsible sections

Collapsible sections

Sub-teams

Sub-teams

Sub-teams let you build a team hierarchy in Linear that mirrors your organizational structure, making team relationships clear and navigable to workspace members.

Seek to:00:00 / 

Define team hierarchies

Create parent teams and nest sub-teams under them to group teams by function, department, or product area. When a team grows large enough for specialized work to emerge, split it into sub-teams to provide focus without disrupting ongoing work or losing visibility.

Simplify administration

Standardize processes across multiple teams with shared settings. Sub-teams inherit workflows, cycles, and labels from their parent team. These settings are configured in a single place, reducing administrative overhead and enabling you to maintain consistent processes across teams as you grow.

View and manage work across multiple teams

Create views at the parent team level to see projects and issues from every sub-team. Members of any sub-team automatically have access to their parent team, enabling cross-team visibility. With shared workflows, cycles, and labels, teams can collaborate more effectively, understand dependencies, and coordinate timelines—all while maintaining their individual focus areas.

Sub-teams is available on Business and Enterprise plans. Go to Team settings > Team hierarchy to set up parent and sub-team relationships and learn more in the docs.

Reminders on projects, initiatives, and documents

Set reminders on issues, projects, initiatives, or documents so you can revisit them at a later date. Schedule reminders from the contextual menu of each page or use the keyboard shortcut H. You'll receive reminder notifications in your Linear Inbox. Pending reminders are labeled at the top of their respective page, and they can be modified or canceled from there.

Mobile app: Team projects and navigation

View and update your team's projects from the mobile app. Dive into a project to create issues, view and edit the project overview, or post updates. A new navigation menu lets you quickly switch between views of your team's projects, issues, cycles, and Triage.
