Use this interactive demo to learn how to manage your notification inbox in Linear.

Quick summary

Linear's Inbox is a centralized notification hub that surfaces key updates — including issue mentions, priority changes, and comment activity — so teams can stay aligned without leaving their workflow. Users can view, reply to, and manage notifications directly from the sidebar, keeping the inbox clean and actionable.


Steps

  1. Find the Inbox option in the sidebar of your Linear workspace.
  2. Review notifications for key events on issues you're subscribed to, including comment mentions and priority changes.
  3. Open a specific issue to view mentions in context.
  4. Reply to a comment directly using the inbox function.
  5. Manage your notification inbox by turning off unwanted notifications and clearing read items.

📌 Why this matters

Linear's Inbox feature gives engineering and product teams a single, focused place to track every important issue update — from priority changes to comment mentions — without switching between tools or digging through noisy notification feeds. By enabling users to reply to comments and manage notifications directly from the inbox, Linear reduces context-switching and keeps work moving faster. Teams that rely on Linear for issue tracking can use the Inbox to ensure nothing critical slips through the cracks, making it an essential feature for high-velocity software development workflows.
