Project update comments, tables, and branch-specific automations

Linear now supports commenting on project updates with bi-directional Slack syncing, native table creation in documents and comments, and branch-specific workflow automations for GitHub and GitLab integrations. Additional improvements include project update subscriptions, markdown export, and regex-based branch rule configuration.

Project update comments You can now comment on project updates to discuss changes and ask follow up questions. Comments sync bi-directionally across Linear and Slack, so everyone can chime in on one thread — even teammates who don't have a Linear account. You can now also: Subscribe to receive updates from specific projects Copy project updates as markdown for easy sharing Disable progress report metrics on individual updates Tables A long-standing feature request, Linear now support tables in issue descriptions, documents, and comments. Add a table using the /table command. Branch-specific workflow automations Set custom workflow automations based on particular target branches with our GitHub and GitLab integrations. For example, you can set up your workflow so that when a PR is merged to… staging -> the issue status will change to In QA main -> the issue status will change to Deployed You can also override a default rule in a particular branch with no action if desired, so that issues linked to a change in that branch will not change status. Branch rules can also be specified using regex (e.g., ^fea/.* can set automations for all of your feature branches). Update your configuration in your team's Workflow settings.
