New filters and cycle improvements

Preview: New filters Filters in Linear help you find the issues that are relevant to you. We have made filters even more powerful and flexible by re-engineering them from the ground up. We now allow more types of filters and ways to combine them. The interface for creating filters has also been redesigned to make adding filters faster and smoother. Filters also power Views, so now you can use the new filters to create any view you can think of, to save for later or share with the rest of your team. With our new filters, you can now include or exclude part of a filter, control how label filters should match against issues in the view, and combine filters together to show views with all or any filters applied. To use different operators and refine queries, click on parts of the filter formula to modify it. We have also added date filters that let you match issues by when they were created, updated, completed, or when they're due. See issue before or after a certain date or combine filters to view date ranges. New filters are available as a Linear Preview feature. To enable it for your workspace, ask an admin to open the command menu with Cmd/Ctrl K and search for "New filters". Cycle improvements Cycles are Linear's way to timebox work into one or multi-week long blocks. We designed cycles so they'd be easy to set up and work automatically, without much manual work to maintain them. As our customers have grown, and Linear has grown with them, we received requests to have more control over cycles. Today we're excited to introduce more controls for cycle schedules, updates, and naming, while still keeping the feature simple and automated: When enabling cycles, you can select if the cycles should start from current week, or the next week, along with other preferences Cycle numbering will now reset back to one if you disable and then re-enable cycles Completed issues can now be moved to the previously completed cycle retroactively (the last cycle now shows up as a cycle option) We also wanted to provide an easier way to name your cycles. Now if you rename and number cycles (e.g. "Week 1"), this custom pattern will be automatically replicated to upcoming cycles with increments in the number. This will make it easier to set a custom cycle naming pattern and override Linear's default numbering. Preview: Project docs Since launching Roadmap, we've had requests for a more robust project details section. This new feature adds the ability to attach long form text documents to your projects. You can use this space to add briefs, RFCs, or write any content that's related to your project and keep it within Linear. Create a document with Cmd/Ctrl K by searching "document" or add one from the project details sidebar. Link to documents from issues, comments, or other documents by typing "+" then the document name. Project documents are available as a Linear Preview feature. To enable it for your workspace, ask an admin to open the command menu with Cmd/Ctrl K and search for "Project documents". Fixes and improvements Improved ESC behavior on the search page. ESC will now clear the search input field if it contains any text. Otherwise, it will navigate back. We now display a more accurate issue source in issues that are created through the API and integrations, such as Slack, GitHub, etc. You can now react to personal new comment notifications in your Slack DM with the Linear bot to add a reaction to the new comment. Approve the new permissions by turning your personal Slack notifications off and then back on in your settings.
