Changelog

New updates and improvements to Linear.


Issue Drafts

Issue Drafts

Drafts offer a way to store issues that you're not ready to create yet. Save an issue you're composing as a draft by using Esc or clicking the X icon and choosing Save draft when prompted. Your draft retains the issue's title, description and properties.

Saved drafts will persist on logout and are available across devices, unlike the existing feature that minimizes one issue you're composing when clicking elsewhere in Linear. Access your saved drafts by opening a new issue and clicking the Drafts button.

Keyboard shortcut trainer

There are many keyboard shortcuts in Linear that can help speed up your workflow. To help build habits of using some of the most valuable shortcuts, we've added a lightweight trainer. Trainer hints trigger when clicking certain buttons and menus in Linear's interface, and can be turned off by clicking on a hint or by using the toggle in Preferences.
