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.
