Click on issue titles and descriptions to edit them directly with automatic saving, and the full-screen issue creation view now supports team switching and templates. Multiple UX improvements and bug fixes included across navigation, roadmap, notifications, performance, and payment options.
Inline editing
Editing and creating issues should be as fast and seamless as possible, so now we are introducing inline editing, which means that you can edit the issue title and description directly on the issue page. Just click on the issue description or title to start editing. Your changes are saved automatically.
We also updated the full-screen issue creation view with support for changing teams and applying templates, just like in the issue creation modal.
These changes are rolling out to all users over the coming days.

Loops, Linear's recurring agent workflows, now respond to more workspace activity including project, initiative, and cycle changes, can edit Linear documents and post updates to Slack. This helps teams automate coordination tasks like updating docs and keeping stakeholders informed when plans change.
Linear now offers a Priority tab that intelligently separates urgent notifications from less critical ones, preventing important items like release-blocking reviews from getting lost. Additionally, document editing is now available on iOS and Android, rich previews render in diffs, draft projects with Linear Agent for planning, and admins can approve third-party app access on paid plans.
