Now

Your coding session doesn’t have to stop when you leave your desk. Use the Linear mobile app to review code changes, comment on specific lines, and iterate with Linear Agent.

Open any diff and switch to the Changes tab to inspect the code. When you spot something to change, tap the relevant line to add it to your message to steer the coding session in the direction you want.

We’ve also added section under My Issues → Assigned for your delegated issues. It shows the status of each coding session, and gives you a quick way back into active work.

Download the Linear mobile app for iOS and Android.

Guided Reviews are now generally available⁠

Guided Reviews break diffs into focused sections with explainers on what changed and why. As part of general availability, they are now generated for larger pull requests, with a bigger context window and better latency.

Guided Reviews are available on Business and Enterprise plans at no additional cost.

Support for GitHub teams in reviews⁠

You can now assign reviews to GitHub teams. Review requests assigned to your GitHub teams appear in a dedicated section of the Reviews inbox. Learn more in the docs.

Signed commits for coding sessions⁠

Coding sessions now support signed commits. Add your SSH or GPG key in Settings to enable signing.

Workspace admins can also require users to upload a signing key before using coding sessions.

GitHub Copilot for Linear⁠

GitHub Copilot users can assign issues directly to Copilot’s cloud agent from Linear. Copilot uses the issue context to work in its own development environment, open draft pull requests, and update the issue as it makes progress.

Choose model and agent settings, set the base and working branches, then steer ongoing work through comments in Linear. To get started, install GitHub Copilot for Linear, or read the GitHub announcement for more details.

Documents and project descriptions are critical context for your teams and agents.

You can now edit text with Linear Agent, and use Loops to keep docs and project descriptions up-to-date. Author name indicators let you check if text was written by a colleague or added by a loop.

When editing, changes you make through Linear Agent highlight separately so they’re easy to review. If you need to revert to an earlier version, restore to any previous checkpoint from version history.

Show author names or open version history from the ⌘/Ctrl + K menu, or in document display options. Learn more in our documentation.

Refreshed issue sidebar⁠

The issue sidebar now closely integrates issue properties with the main content. We’ve pinned Diffs to the top of this panel so you can access the issue’s pull requests from anywhere on the page.

Loops are a new way for Linear Agent to take on recurring work for your team.

Describe the job in plain language and then choose whether it should run on a schedule or in response to an event. From there, Loops use context from your workspace and connected tools to decide on the next best action.

For example:

• Review incoming issues, research root causes, and dispatch to coding agents
• Create and coordinate follow-up work based on unstructured notes, like meeting transcripts or incident reports
• Keep launch plans and project specifications up-to-date
• See more ways to use Loops in the docs

Loops run at the team and workspace level, with shared visibility and control. Anyone with access can review their instructions, see how they are configured, and inspect what happened during each run.

Loops are available today on Business and Enterprise plans and use AI credits. To help you get started and understand usage, we’re giving your workspace $20 per seat in promotional credits. These credits are applied automatically to runs, and expire on August 20, 2026.

Initiatives define your company’s high-level goals and organize the projects that contribute to them. To help you manage initiatives as your roadmap grows, we’ve added a new set of focused initiative properties:

• Proposed and canceled statuses make it clear when an initiative is under consideration or has been intentionally set aside
• Priority communicates which initiatives are most important
• Labels group initiatives by product line, region, or other meaningful categories

Use these properties to group and filter initiatives on any plan, or build custom initiative views on Enterprise plans. Learn more about initiative properties in the docs.

Centrally manage access to Linear’s MCP server in Claude⁠

Give employees secure access to Linear and other MCP servers in Claude, without requiring them to authenticate with each server individually.

Enterprise-managed Authorization lets Okta administrators manage access and permissions centrally, and users automatically get access to the MCP servers they’re authorized to use when they sign in to Claude.

Enterprise-Managed Authorization is available to Enterprise workspaces using Okta as an identity provider and Claude as an MCP client. Learn more in the docs or in the MCP specification.

Share filtered views⁠

You can now share any filtered view by copying its URL from your browser, or by pressing ⌘/Ctrl Shift C on desktop.

Share filtered views to discuss a subset of an existing view with someone else — like an issue view filtered by an assignee, or project or initiative view filtered by a label.

Project and initiative updates keep teams aligned, but writing them means pulling out recent changes from issues, documents, and discussions.

Instead of finding that context manually, click Write with Agent to let Linear do it for you. The agent reviews changes made since the last update, checks messages in the linked Slack channel, and writes an update draft for you to refine.

Add your own perspective by prompting for further changes or editing directly, then publish the update.

Desktop navigation history and pinned tabs⁠

We’ve rebuilt our desktop tabs to make navigation feel fluid and predictable.

• Each desktop tab now has its own history stack, so moving backwards won’t navigate you to another tab
• Pinned tabs are now a reliable home for important work. They stay anchored in the tab bar, persist after quitting and reopening the app, and aren’t replaced by new content you open.

These changes are live for current desktop users. Try Linear on desktop by downloading the app.

Private sub-teams⁠

Private sub-teams organize groups that work together under one umbrella, like independent business units, skunkworks efforts, or teams handling sensitive data like People Ops.

When you create a sub-team under a private team, you can now choose between two access options:

• Restricted to parent team members — parent team members can see and choose to join the sub-team. This makes it easy to manage private team structures without coordinating invitations to each sub-team.
• Private to team members — the team is hidden, except to members directly invited to that sub-team

Private sub-teams are available on Business and Enterprise plans. Learn more in our documentation.

Build agents with Vercel Eve⁠

Vercel Eve is an open-source framework for building custom agents.

Build agents that can investigate incidents, monitor SLAs, or analyze customer feedback. You can deploy agents on Vercel with the guided setup, or host them wherever you run your Eve app.

Once connected to Linear, teammates can delegate issues to your agent or mention it in comments. Learn more about Eve in Vercel’s documentation.

Release pipeline changelogs⁠

Releases let you plan and track your software releases. Now, you can also keep your team aligned on what’s shipping with changelogs for each release pipeline. These changelogs bring a pipeline’s release notes together in one place, so progress is easy to review and share.

Choose to auto-generate release notes in pipeline settings so your changelog is always up to date. Learn more in our documentation.

OAuth application manifests⁠

OAuth application manifests let platforms provide a one-click OAuth app setup experience for users creating integrations.

Use URL parameters to send users directly to a pre-filled Create OAuth App form in Linear. An equivalent JSON manifest format lets you store configurations in files, validate them locally, or generate them programmatically.

Find the details in our developer docs.

Earlier this year, we launched Linear Agent, giving teams a new way to plan and coordinate their issues and projects. Since then, we’ve added Code Intelligence to extend that understanding to the codebase, and MCP support to bring all of your context together.

Today we’re closing the loop: Linear Agent can now write code using Claude Code and Codex. You can triage, plan, review, and ship—all in Linear.

Start a coding session by assigning an issue to Linear, or ask it to make a change in a chat, comment, or Slack thread. Each session is grounded in your workspace context, pulling in issue details, history, customer requests, discussions, and related work.

A coding agent your team will love⁠

Coding sessions run in the cloud, so you can prototype ideas and make changes without setting up a local development environment.

When the change is ready, Linear returns a new diff for review. Share preview links, bring teammates into the discussion, and address feedback with further iterations in the same thread.

Automate the first pass⁠

When a new issue is reported, Linear Agent can investigate and attempt a fix before it reaches an engineer, reducing the load on your team.

It follows your team’s guidance, gathers evidence from tools like Sentry or Datadog through MCP, and inspects the codebase to trace the root cause before producing a fix.

Linear uses this workflow internally to resolve roughly 30% of incoming bug reports, mostly on the first pass.

You can set up your own agent automation in your team’s Triage settings.

Availability and pricing⁠

Coding sessions are available on Basic, Business, and Enterprise plans. They require a GitHub connection with code access and use AI credits to run. Workspace admins can enable coding sessions in Settings and manage access, usage, and credits from the usage dashboard. Learn more in the docs.

Important team context doesn’t always belong in a specific issue, project, or initiative. Teams also need a dedicated place for the notes, docs, and shared references that support their work over time. Now, every team has a page to keep its context organized and easy to access.

Teams can create documents directly from their home page, add existing documents from projects and issues, and group resources into sections.

Open a team’s page by clicking on its name in your sidebar, or search by pressing o, then t. Learn more in our documentation.

Shared skills for Linear Agent⁠

Skills let you save reusable instructions for Linear Agent.

We now support sharing skills with your team so great personal workflows can become shared team process. Sharing a skill helps your team standardize recurring workflows like writing specs, running weekly planning, or drafting updates.

Use skills in any agent conversation by clicking on Skills or using a slash command. You can share an existing skill from settings, or by asking Linear Agent. Learn more in our documentation.

Issue description comments⁠

You can now comment directly on text or images in issue descriptions.

Select any part of a description to leave a comment anchored to that exact spot. Use description comments to share feedback on a specific part of the description, rather than commenting on the issue as a whole.

Agents generate large volumes of code, but individuals are still accountable for the changes that merge. This leads to a lot of review work, and the capability and performance of traditional review tools hasn’t kept up.

Today, we’re releasing Linear Diffs to make reviewing code a fast and fluid experience native to Linear.

You can now review diffs from any issue with a PR, iterate on further changes with agents, and ship code from Linear. All reviews in Linear sync back to GitHub, so the current state of review work is always clear.

Guided reviews (beta)⁠

Guided reviews help you efficiently review large PRs. When you view a diff in this format, you’ll see the core of change first, so you don’t have to dig for an entrypoint.

Each section of diffs has an explanation — starting with what the change is, then moving into its consequences. Guided reviews separate out glue code and secondary changes so you can stay focused on what matters. This style of review makes it much easier to move through large changes in a single sitting.

Guided reviews are free during beta and available for Linear customers on Business and Enterprise plans.

Review Inbox⁠

Staying on top of reviews is easier when review notifications live alongside the rest of your work. Linear notifies your Inbox for work like review requests, your approved PRs, and comment mentions. You can set up additional real-time desktop, Slack, email, or mobile notifications.

We’ve also added a dedicated Reviews tab in your sidebar so you can see all your review work at once. The default focus ordering sorts reviews by what’s closest to shipping, so the work that needs your attention most rises to the top.

Reviewing code⁠

When a review calls for changes, keep iterating from the diff surface with a background coding agent. Agent changes update the diff in real-time, so you don’t need to check out the branch locally for every small tweak.

Diffs is responsive when reviewing even very large PRs. You can view unified or split diffs, enable line wrapping and structural highlighting, and choose custom code themes.

Linear Diffs is available now on all plans. Guided reviews are free during beta and available for Linear customers on Business and Enterprise plans.

Workspace admins can enable Diffs by upgrading Linear’s GitHub integration for code access. Then, individual users can choose to review diffs in Linear.

To learn more about why we built Diffs, read Code review should be fast. For more on Diffs functionality, check our documentation.

Project teams often use a Slack channel to discuss and share feedback about their project as it takes shape.

Now, Linear can spin up that Slack channel automatically every time a new project is created. All project members are automatically added to the project Slack channel, and project updates post to that channel by default.

When working in a project’s Slack channel, you can use Linear Agent to answer questions or take actions in the project. Try sending messages to the channel like “@Linear what’s our target date?” or “@Linear file this bug and assign it to me.”

Admins can enable channel creation from settings. Learn more about project Slack channels in our documentation.

Linear Asks Agent⁠

Linear Asks brings internal requests into Linear, where the appropriate team can work on them.

Now, anyone in your Slack workspace can file a request in Linear by mentioning @Linear Asks. Linear checks the templates enabled for that channel, picks the best match, and creates an issue using the conversation as context.

When a template uses required fields, Linear follows up to collect any missing details before creating the issue.

Admins can configure Linear Asks agent in settings for any connected Slack workspace. Asks is available on Business and Enterprise plans. Learn more in our documentation.

Issue duplicates⁠

Duplicate issues now use a dedicated status type in Linear and move context to the original issue.

When an issue is marked as a duplicate, its customer requests, synced Slack threads, and attachments are moved to the original issue. Whether a teammate, agent or Triage Intelligence marks an issue as a duplicate, the issue context moves to the right place.

Because of theses changes, every issue with a duplicate status must now link to the original issue. On duplicate issues, that original issue is shown clearly in the sidebar.

When the original issue is completed, every synced Slack thread is notified. Each linked customer ticket in Zendesk or Intercom also reopens, so you can keep your customers in the loop.

Reorder groups in issue and project views⁠

Issues and projects in views are often organized into groups like status, priority, or label. You can now reorder these groups in any list or board view to put the most important sections first.

Click the reorder groups icon in display options, then drag groups into your preferred order. You can reset the view back to the default order at any time.

GitHub Enterprise Cloud integration⁠

Linear now supports GitHub Enterprise Cloud.

Once connected, GitHub Enterprise Cloud users have access to all the benefits of our popular GitHub integration. Linked pull requests update issue statuses automatically, GitHub Issues sync can be enabled for select repos, and you can review PRs natively with Linear Diffs.

This integration is available on Linear’s Enterprise plan. Read more in our documentation, and install the GitHub Enterprise Cloud integration to get started.

Code Intelligence gives Linear Agent controlled access to your codebase, turning repositories into shared product context your whole team can use.

With Code Intelligence, Linear Agent can reason about how your product actually works, not just what’s captured in issues, projects, and docs. Ask how a feature is implemented, why something behaves a certain way, what a change might affect, or which technical constraints should shape a plan or customer request without digging through the codebase or interrupting an engineer.

PMs can write sharper specs, Support and Sales can answer technical questions with more confidence, and Engineering can investigate bugs, regressions, and unfamiliar parts of the system faster.

To set up Code Intelligence, a workspace admin should:

1. Install the GitHub integration and enable code access
2. Turn on Code Intelligence in AI Settings

From there, admins can choose which repositories to include and whether access is limited to members with existing GitHub permissions or available to the entire workspace.

Code Intelligence is now available in public beta for Business and Enterprise plans, and free to use during the beta period. See the docs for more details.
