Share issues from private teams
You can now share individual issues from private teams with specific users outside of the team. This is especially useful when bringing collaborators on to solve individual problems for highly sensitive teams, like security or HR. You can assign them a specific issue from your team without giving them access to the rest of the teamβs data.
Shared issues will have a banner prominently displayed to indicate who that issue is visible to.
Private issue sharing is available on Enterprise plans. Learn more in our
docs
.
Create projects and initiatives on Android and iOS
Capture ideas on the go by creating new projects and initiatives on Linearβs mobile apps. Write project summaries and properties to express your intent, then build out full descriptions and milestones later.
Gemini Enterprise connector
