Comments are now editable by the submitter with edit indicators, and todo-lists within comments can be checked off after submission. Comment timestamps are now linkable for sharing direct references to specific comments.
Improved comments
Comments are now editable by the submitter. Once edited, an indicator will note that edits were made. Todo-lists inside comments have also received the ability to be ticked off after the comment has been submitted.
The timestamps on comments and other issue history entries are now links, so you'll be able to share a direct link to a specific comment.
Invite your team
Inviting your team is now easier with dedicated invite links. To grab your personal share link, head to People tab under settings. As always, you'll also be able to invite your team via email.
Link to issues in GitHub
While not a new feature of Linear, we thought it would be worth mentioning that GitHub has added the ability to auto-link issue ID's with external issue trackers. This works well together with Linear, and you'll be able to set it up under repository settings for each team. Just map your team key (e.g. KEY-) to the Linear URL (https://linear.app/issue/KEY-). Don't forget to replace the team key with yours.
