Changelog

New updates and improvements to Linear.


European Union data hosting

European Union data hosting

You can now choose to store your data in the European Union or the United States when creating a Linear workspace. This change also builds the foundation for us to support hosting data in other regions in the future. You can learn why we chose to make this change now and how we designed and built the technical architecture in this blog post.

To store your data in the EU, select the option when creating a new workspace (we set the default storage location based on your system timezone). The data storage location cannot be changed for existing workspaces. Learn more in the docs.
