Workflows that work for you
Linear was developed with a singular purpose: To help your team move faster. The result are simple yet flexible workflows that automate away your busy work. Tailored to your team’s unique way of working, they enable you to do your most demanding work without constraint.
Fully configurable workflows

Auto-close & auto-archive
Automatically close issues that haven’t been updated in a set amount of time. Auto-archive issues and cycles after a configurable period of time.
Cycle automations
Cycles run on an automated schedule to reduce unnecessary date math and help create routine. Any unfinished work rolls over to the next cycle automatically.
Service-level agreements (SLAs) Plus Feature
Surface your most time-sensitive issues and set guidance on completion deadlines with SLAs.

Auto-assign and update status
Auto-assign issues to yourself and move them to a started status when you copy the git branch name.
PR review status
See the reviewers and review states of your pull and merge requests directly in Linear.

Get your issues in order
Linear’s powerful filtering system provides unprecedented levels of granularity and customizability.

Put a label on it.
Structure and organize your issues with multi-select labels or single-select label groups.
Labels
Create labels to help organize issues on your team. You can filter by label when creating views and sifting through search results to help you find the issues you need. Labels can be created on the workspace level, or they can be team-specific, so they can be customized to your team's needs.
Label Groups
For even greater control, you can create groups of single-select labels. This allows you to add attributes such as Issue Type, Version, Component, or Platform to your issues.
Quickly find what you’re looking for
Look for issues across your entire workspace, including archived and deleted issues. Linear’s search incorporates issue titles, descriptions, and comments.
