Linear settings guide

Linear is built around keyboard shortcuts: create, assign, prioritise and move issues without the mouse (press ? to see them).

Use Linear's AI to auto-write issue descriptions from a one-line summary — type 'Fix login timeout bug', press the AI button, and it generates acceptance criteria, reproduction steps, and technical context.

Linear Cycles (sprints) auto-populate based on team velocity — it learns how much work your team completes each cycle and suggests realistic scope automatically.

The GitHub integration links every commit, PR, and deployment to the corresponding Linear issue — your engineering team has complete traceability without manual updates.

Use Linear's Triage view for incoming bugs and feature requests — product managers process new items in the Inbox and assign to cycles without cluttering active project views.

Set Priority levels (Urgent/High/Medium/Low) and use keyboard shortcut P to assign — the priority matrix is visible in every view, helping teams focus on what matters.

Linear's API and webhooks enable full automation — create issues from Sentry errors automatically, sync with Notion project docs, and post updates to Slack as issues change status.
