Introducing Loops
Loops are a new way for Linear Agent to take on recurring work for your team. Describe the job in plain language and then choose whether it should run on a schedule or in response to an event. From there, Loops use context from your workspace and connected tools to decide on the next best action.

Lakehouse : Cross-cloud Lakehouse now supports integration with SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) in Preview
Lakehouse : Cross-cloud Lakehouse now supports integration with SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) in Preview. This update includes the following features: Federation from SAP BDC: Create Delta Sharing catalogs in Lakehouse to automatically synchronize shares, schemas, and tables from SAP BDC.
OIDC federated authentication (Public Preview)
OpenID Connect (OIDC) security integrations for federated single sign-on (SSO) are available in Public Preview. Multiple OIDC integrations, or OIDC alongside an existing SAML2 integration, require identifier-first login . Without identifier-first login, only one SSO integration (SAML2 or OIDC) can be ENABLED=TRUE at a time.
DML into frozen regions of dynamic tables (General availability)
You can now use DML statements (INSERT, UPDATE, MERGE, DELETE) to modify rows directly in the frozen region of a dynamic table. This enables use cases such as GDPR-required row deletions or correcting specific records without triggering a full refresh of the active region. For more information, see DML into a frozen region .
Pass-through policies for dynamic tables with incremental refresh (General availability)
Dynamic tables that have base tables with arbitrary masking or row access policies can now maintain incremental refresh when the policy is pass-through for the role used during refresh (that is, when the refresh role has unrestricted access to all rows and columns regardless of the policy condition).
[In preview] Public Preview: Protect sensitive generative AI telemetry in Application Insights and Microsoft Foundry
Azure Monitor Application Insights now stores generative AI content in a dedicated GenAIContent table (AppGenAIContent in Log Analytics), making it possible to apply newly available access controls to sensitive AI telemetry. Because Application Insights p
AI credit pools for cost centers in the billing UI
You can now manage a cost center’s AI credit pool directly in the billing UI where you create and edit cost centers. Previously, you could only manage this through the GitHub REST API. This feature is available for Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise on GitHub Enterprise Cloud. Toggle the AI credit pool on when you create or edit a cost center.

Text attribution and agent-assisted editing
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.
Coding sessions on mobile
Your coding session doesn’t have to stop when you leave your desk. Use the Linear mobile app to review code changes, comment on specific lines, and iterate with Linear Agent. Open any diff and switch to the Changes tab to inspect the code.
Initiative properties
Initiatives define your company's high-level goals and organize the projects that contribute to them. To help you manage initiatives as your roadmap grows, we've added a new set of focused initiative properties: Proposed and canceled statuses make it clear when an initiative is under consideration or has been intentionally set aside Priority communicates...
Team initiatives
Initiatives are Linear's way to manage product strategy and high-level planning across projects. Strategy may start at the company level, but teams carry it forward. You can now assign a team to lead an initiative, making it clear who is responsible for driving the work and how it contributes to the broader direction.
Coding sessions: environments, browser use, and updated pricing
Linear Agent can now set up, run, and test your code before returning its work. That means fewer handoffs and changes that are further along when they come back to you. We’re also introducing lower, more transparent pricing, making AI credit usage easier to understand and control.
Agent assisted project updates
Project and initiative updates keep teams aligned, but writing them means pulling out recent changes from issues, documents, and discussions. Instead of finding that context manually, click Write with Agent to let Linear do it for you.
Coding sessions in Linear
Earlier this year, we launched Linear Agent, giving teams a new way to plan and coordinate their issues and projects. Since then, we've added Code Intelligence to extend that understanding to the codebase, and MCP support to bring all of your context together. Today we're closing the loop: Linear Agent can now write code using Claude Code and Codex.
Priority inbox
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.
