Pull request preview links

Preview links associated with your pull requests are now accessible directly from Linear issues.

Pull request preview link showing multiple preview links to blog, client, desktop, and mobile previews

Preview links are automatically detected for popular platforms like Vercel and Netlify if you have connected Linear with your GitHub repository. We also support custom preview links: pull request descriptions and comments are parsed for any markdown links ending with "preview". Multiple previews for a single PR are available in a dropdown menu, with icons and customizable names for easy identification (e.g. mobile and desktop previews). Learn more in our documentation.
