Documents and project descriptions are critical context for your teams and agents. You can now edit text with Linear Agent , and use Loops to keep docs and project descriptions up-to-date. Author name indicators let you check if text was written by a colleague or added by a loop. When editing, changes you make through Linear Agent highlight separately so they’re easy to review. If you need to revert to an earlier version, restore to any previous checkpoint from version history. Show author names or open version history from the ⌘ / Ctrl + K menu, or in document display options. Learn more in our documentation . Refreshed issue sidebar The issue sidebar now closely integrates issue properties with the main content. We’ve pinned Diffs to the top of this panel so you can access the issue’s pull requests from anywhere on the page.
