Navigating Linear

Linear is organized around the work that is relevant to you, your teams, and your workspace.

Use the sidebar

Use the sidebar to move between your personal work, shared workspace information, and your teams.

  • Inbox shows updates that need your attention
  • My Issues shows work assigned to you
  • Workspace contains shared projects, initiatives, and views
  • Your teams contain the issues, cycles, projects, and Triage queues for the teams you belong to
  • Favorites lets you pin the pages you visit most

Find anything quickly

Use / to search across issues, projects, and documents. You can also search for an issue directly by its identifier, such as LIN-123.

Use keyboard shortcuts

Many common destinations have short keyboard shortcuts. For example, press G then I to open Inbox, or G then M to open My Issues.

Press ? to see the full list of shortcuts.
