Linear now offers customizable view options for issues, allowing users to control layout, ordering, sub-issue display, and visible fields. The feature can be applied to individual views or saved as a team default, with additional improvements to command menu search and new URL parameters for prefilling issue properties.
Linear Preview: View options
In the coming weeks, we'll add better controls for many of Linear's views. Today we're introducing a new preview feature that lets you customize the layout, ordering, type and fields that are shown on issues. You can customize your view only or save your preference to make it the team's default view. Today the following options are available and we'll add more over time:
Layout: Pick list or board layout in cycle, project or label views
Ordering: We now support manual ordering for both boards and lists! Available in most team views
Show sub-issues: Toggle on and off sub-issues in your view
Display properties: Pick which issue fields you want to see in your view
You can turn on View options for your workspace by selecting Enable: New view options from the command menu (Cmd+k).
Improved search results in the command menu
Searching in the command menu (Cmd+k) will now also search through second-level actions and display them in the search results.
For example, if you search for "add label" it will show you the top-level "Add label..." action, but also include all the different labels that would have been displayed had you subsequently selected the "Add label..." action (e.g. "Add label Bug"). This also works when you search for text contained in a second-level action. For example, searching for "bug" will find the "Add label Bug" action.
New issue URL parameters
You can now construct new issue URLs that prefill any of the properties for the new issue. This lets you create links that assign the newly created issues to a specific person, add labels or even provide a template for a user to fill out. For example, the query parameters in this link will create a new issue with the title and description filled out and the label "bug" assigned.
The supported query params are as follows:
title
description
status
assignee
estimate
label
labels (comma-separated)
cycle
project
Other improvements and fixes
Open team actions are now ordered according to the users' team membership
Performance improvements to list rendering
Various improvements and fixes to rendering for board and list views
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.
