Changelog

Improved Drag & Drop⁠

Easily reorganize your issue lists by dragging and dropping issues into different groups regardless of your chosen ordering method.

To try this out, click and hold an issue within a group and drag it to another group; the issue will automatically be placed in the new group and update accordingly. On a page grouped by status for example, dropping an issue into a new group will move that issue to the new group and update its status automatically.

Vercel integration⁠

Vercel released their official Linear integration. It allows Vercel users to convert feedback from comments on Preview Deployments into actionable Linear issues.

When leaving comments on Vercel Preview Deployments you’ll have the option to Convert to Issue which will prompt you to create an issue that will appear in your Linear board under a selected project. Your comment screenshots and replies will also appear in your issue.

Project Milestones⁠

Every project is a journey. You might have a clear end goal in mind, but the path to get there is shrouded in a fog of uncertainty, making it challenging to navigate and stay on track.

To shine some light into the fog, we are introducing Project Milestones — a new way to divide and organize work within projects.

Milestones mark important points in a project’s lifecycle that the team needs to synchronize on. They make these key moments legible and break the project down into more granular phases.

Creating project milestones in Linear is easy: All you need is a name and a target date (the latter is optional). You can then assign issues to it (⇧+M is the fastest way to move an issue to a milestone).

The project side-panel contains an overview of your milestones with progress data for each of them. Click on a milestone to instantly see all issues associated with it.

Milestones are also visible on roadmaps, highlighting the stage each project is currently in and how much progress has been made. This gives you a better understanding of what’s going on across multiple streams of work.

We designed Milestones to answer a fundamental question that every project team faces: “Where are we?”

Milestones act as reassurance that you are still on the correct path, but they also give you a sense of how far you have come. They are a reflection point. So you can look back and celebrate what you have achieved, before taking the next step towards your final destination.

Triage notifications⁠

We've added notifications for when an issue is added to a team's triage queue. These will allow you to stay up to date and respond quickly to issues in your team's triage queue. You can easily subscribe to these notifications from the team's header in the sidebar, the command menu, or the "Teams" section in your notification settings.

Once subscribed, you can triage issues directly from your inbox. You can also receive the notifications across all the other regularly available notification channels.

Label group support for Views and Insights⁠

You can now group issues by "Label group". This will let you pick a label group in the View options and group issues based on the labels inside that group.

Because an issue can only have one label from a group, you are sure each issue will only appear once in the list, unlike when grouping by "Label".

This feature is also available on Insights where you can select it as a Dimension or Segment, even on scatterplot charts.

Linear Insights⁠

Today, we are excited to launch Linear Insights into public beta.

Insights offers instant analytics for any stream of work. Aggregate, segment and visualize data across your entire workspace. Spot trends, remove blockers, and make better decisions.

To learn more, head over to the new Linear Insights website, where you can find exact specifications and interactive use cases.

Insights is available in public beta to all workspaces on the Linear Plus plan.
You can sign-up to a free 30 day trial to see if Insights is right for you.

Service-level agreements (SLAs)⁠

Use SLAs to set guidance on when time-sensitive issues should be completed. This gives your team more controls to ensure important issues stay top of mind.

SLAs can be applied to issues manually, or automatically via a set of admin-configurable rules. Linear's default rules apply SLAs for high priority and urgent issues, but you can also substitute or add criteria to rules such as team, project, or label.

When SLAs are at risk of being breached or become breached, subscribers receive a notification immediately. To receive similar notifications for issues you are not subscribed to, you can enable additional SLA notifications options in your notifications settings.

SLAs are available to all workspaces on the Linear Plus and Linear Enterprise plans.

OpenAI powered in-app Help⁠

Today, we're releasing an upgraded in-app help center to Beta. In addition to some design tweaks, we added the ability to use OpenAI's GPT-3 model to ask questions from our documentation. You can also still use regular keyword based search for both docs and keyboard shortcuts.

We're excited about the possibilities to help Linear users quickly learn about concepts and features. You can try the beta today by pressing ? inside the application and typing your question.

The new intelligent help search was built in collaboration with Relevance.AI who are also a Linear customer.

HMAC signed webhooks⁠

To improve security of Linear's webhooks, we added HMAC based signing of webhook messages which can be used to verify their authenticity. You can get the signature secret from your webhook settings, which is available for both regular and OAuth webhooks, and use it to calculate SHA256 based signature of the content for verification.

Improved time travel capabilities⁠

Productivity software is the closest thing we have to a time machine.

It provides us with information from the past, for the future we want to build, so that we can make the most out of the present moment. Linear is no different. On the surface, it's an issue tracker. But under the hood, it works more like a time travel device.

Roadmaps, for example, are not a map of the terrain you are in today. They are an atlas for the world you are trying to create in the months ahead.

An issue might be filed based on a bug you are experiencing in the present moment, but it's also a conversation starter with your future self to make sure it will eventually get fixed.

Even the sync-engine is all about time management. By synchronizing information in real-time across all users, it ensures that no one gets stuck in the past.

Today, we are announcing two upgrades to Linear's time travel abilities: Issue reminders and an improved date picker UI.

Issue Reminders⁠

One of Linear's most popular features is the ability to snooze notifications. With Issue Reminders we are bringing the same capability to all issues.

You can now set reminders for any issue by pressing H or searching for remind in the command menu.

Set a time or a date, like "4pm" or "next Tuesday", and Linear will deliver a new notification to your Inbox at the specified time. You can also add email, desktop and Slack notifications from your notification settings.

This allows "present you" to focus on the task at hand, without having to worry that "future you" will forget about the issue.

Improved date picker UI⁠

To make selecting the right point in time even faster, we are shipping an improved date suggestion picker. Try "tomorrow", "on Friday", "in 3 hours", "next week", "6pm", "Jun 5", or "next Cycle".

The improved date picker is available for snoozing inbox notifications, Triage issues, and the new issue reminders. It is designed for the future, but available from today.

Linear Rewind 2022⁠

A busy and productive year is coming to an end. To help you celebrate everything you built and shipped this year, we are releasing Rewind 2022 - a visual summary of your 2022 in Linear.

You can generate your personal rewind or create a rewind for your entire workspace. Please note that we need a certain amount of data to create meaningful reports, so if you are new to Linear you may not be able to create a rewind yet.

Linear Rewind is private by default - only you and members of your workspace can see it. All graphs in the report can be copied and shared. Please consider who you choose to share them with, since they might contain sensitive company data.

We’re releasing our own Linear Rewind publicly. You can view it here.

Polishing Season 2022⁠

Every product has bugs. More than we can ever fix. Papercuts, usability issues, imperfections. We all have a long backlog of fixes and improvements we intend to get to someday.

Polishing season is about turning that “someday” into “today”. It’s about dedicating time to quality work. To replace flaws and friction with polish and delight.

For the rest of the year, polishing will be our sole focus. No new feature work, just quality of life improvements.

To make the most out of it, we would love to get your input. Tell us what we should fix. Tell us what we should improve. Tell us what would make your life easier.
