Inline comments
We’ve made several editor improvements that make it easier to collaborate on work directly in Linear.
Inline comments
You can now create comments on project documents. Select any text and press the comment button that appears or use the shortcut Cmd Option M.
- Notifications go to the document creator and anyone mentioned
- Reply to the comment or resolve it with a single click
- Access the full comment history from the header
Collaborative editing
All documents and issue descriptions in Linear can now be edited by multiple people at the same time. You’ll see input cursors whenever someone else is editing or viewing the text. All changes are instantly saved and synced to everyone else in realtime.
