+PRIORITY INBOX
+
+Linear Inbox in dark mode, showing Priority and Other tabs with several notifications about issue assignments, project updates, comments, and mentions. [https://webassets.linear.app/images/ornj730p/production/8005be22da38ee19e6ac56569976958564d9bbb1-3600x2080.png?q=95&auto=format&dpr=2]
+
+An active workspace can create a significant amount of notifications each day, and until now your inbox treated them all the same. The new Priority tab separates what needs your attention from what can wait, so something like a review blocking a release never gets buried.
+
+Linear selects what appears in Priority by default, with the option to customize it by choosing notification sources or creating a filter. You can also continue using the inbox just as you do today.
+
+To get started, open the inbox display options or read the docs.
+
+DRAFT PROJECTS WITH LINEAR AGENT
+
+The new project composer lets you develop ideas with Linear Agent before creating a live project. Inside the composer, Linear can pull in relevant context from your workspace and connected tools to sharpen the brief and build out a plan.
+
+Drafts save automatically as you work, so you can return to the draft without losing progress.
+
+Select Create with Agent in the project creation page to get started.
+
+Linear’s AI project-drafting interface creating a “Reliable airport pickups” project, with a live chat panel and project brief fields. [https://webassets.linear.app/images/ornj730p/production/0e436be9125079b223439fcb01d4db5feae680a8-3600x2368.png?q=95&auto=format&dpr=2]
+
+DOCUMENT EDITING ON MOBILE
+
+Document creation and editing are now available in Linear’s iOS and Android apps. Start a doc while the context is fresh, update a plan as it changes, or fix a detail before it sends someone in the wrong direction, without waiting until you’re back at your desk.
+
+RICH PREVIEWS IN DIFFS
+
+Images, fonts, Markdown, and PDFs now render directly inside Linear diffs. Reviewers can see the output alongside the code and understand what changed without leaving the pull request.
+
+Symlinks are also now supported, shown as file-based changes.
+
+Code review diff for DRV-2498 showing an updated SVG asset, with removed and added illustration previews side by side. [https://webassets.linear.app/images/ornj730p/production/177687802d38fab3bc19324fc075a82c95b2cd0e-3600x2394.png?q=95&auto=format&dpr=2]
+
+THIRD-PARTY APP APPROVALS
+
+As more apps and agents connect to your workspace, admins need control over which ones can access company data. Third-party app approvals are now available on paid Linear plans, allowing admins to review and approve apps before they’re installed.

-Agents generate large volumes of code, but individuals are still accountable for the changes that merge. This leads to a lot of review work, and the capability and performance of traditional review tools hasn’t kept up.
-
-Today, we’re releasing Linear Diffs to make reviewing code a fast and fluid experience native to Linear.
-
-You can now review diffs from any issue with a PR, iterate on further changes with agents, and ship code from Linear. All reviews in Linear sync back to GitHub, so the current state of review work is always clear.

-GUIDED REVIEWS (BETA)
-
-Guided reviews help you efficiently review large PRs. When you view a diff in this format, you’ll see the core of change first, so you don’t have to dig for an entrypoint.
-
-Each section of diffs has an explanation — starting with what the change is, then moving into its consequences. Guided reviews separate out glue code and secondary changes so you can stay focused on what matters. This style of review makes it much easier to move through large changes in a single sitting.
-
-Guided reviews are free during beta and available for Linear customers on Business and Enterprise plans.

-
-REVIEW INBOX
-
-Staying on top of reviews is easier when review notifications live alongside the rest of your work. Linear notifies your Inbox for work like review requests, your approved PRs, and comment mentions. You can set up additional real-time desktop, Slack, email, or mobile notifications.
-
-We’ve also added a dedicated Reviews tab in your sidebar so you can see all your review work at once. The default focus ordering sorts reviews by what’s closest to shipping, so the work that needs your attention most rises to the top.

-
-REVIEWING CODE
-
-When a review calls for changes, keep iterating from the diff surface with a background coding agent. Agent changes update the diff in real-time, so you don’t need to check out the branch locally for every small tweak.
-
-Diffs is responsive when reviewing even very large PRs. You can view unified or split diffs, enable line wrapping and structural highlighting, and choose custom code themes.

-
-Linear Diffs is available now on all plans. Guided reviews are free during beta and available for Linear customers on Business and Enterprise plans.
-
-Workspace admins can enable Diffs by upgrading Linear’s GitHub integration for code access. Then, individual users can choose to review diffs in Linear.
-
-To learn more about why we built Diffs, read Code review should be fast. For more on Diffs functionality, check our documentation.
