Project documents

Create documents for projects.

Overview

Create documents inside of projects to keep relevant information and updates in one central place. Use documents to create specs, PRDS, and share status updates with the project team.

Basics

Create documents

Create documents when inside of a project by navigating to the project details sidebar and selecting the + button. You'll be required to give the document a title and can pick a custom icon and icon color. Start typing in the document like you would in issues as it uses the same Markdown editor. You can do everything from type plain text, code snippets, use headers, to reference issues and @mention members of your team

Edit documents

Edit documents by opening them up and typing E or selecting the pencil button. We'll show when the document was last edited and by whom.

Open documents

While in a project view, you can open documents with the shortcut O then D or by selecting it from the project details sidebar.

Link documents

Reference documents in issue descriptions, comments, and even in other documents by typing + while in edit mode followed by the document name (no spaces). As you type the first letter, you'll see matching document titles show up in a dropdown.

External URLs

If you'd like to link related files that live outside of Linear, you can add a link to the Resources section in the project details page instead.
