Linear shipped multiple bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements including new link count sorting, enhanced multi-team view performance, improved integrations, and refinements to issue handling and display across the platform.
Small fixes & improvements
We love launching new features, but this week we have focused on smaller bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements to the product. Here are some highlights:
Ordering by link count
When keeping track of user requests you often get a lot of links in related issues. To help with prioritizing requests we have added the option to sort lists by the number of links in each ticket. To enable this, go to the view options menu in the top right corner and select "Link count" under "Ordering". You can also display information about links in issues in the list view by enabling the "Links" display property.
Improvements to multi-team views
For views with issues from multiple teams, we have improved the performance in cases where only a few teams are filtered out. This should bring noticeable speed improvements to such views in larger workspaces. We also made it possible to hide all columns in multi-team board views.
Other fixes and improvements
Fixed a bug that would cause duplicate relations between issues to be created
Fixed hover styling on section headers in the sidebar
Fixed issue where you could get board views grouped by the wrong property

Improved performance of accepting triage issues
Linear Agent now offers adaptive routing to optimize model selection by task complexity, environment secrets support for secure dependency access, and open-weight model options including GLM. Teams can define custom project labels and statuses, assign project leads, use durable IDs for projects and initiatives, and automate workflows with new team-based triggers for onboarding and reassignment.
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.
