Linear Diffs - A new way to review PRs, directly inside Linear

by

Introducing 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. Linear Diffs is available now on all plans.

Review code in @Linear, iterate with your team and agents, all in one place. Love this direction!

Been waiting for something like this since the "close the issue, open GitHub, scroll to find the PR, lose context, come back" loop gets old fast. I do not use code editor anymore so a better interface that github is always welcomed! Very cool feature

Upvoting and commenting so I can get that awesome swag! Totally kidding, Linear is great. Congrats on the launch, love the new swag—you did well.

Collapsing the context switch between issue tracker and code review is the right call. You can finally review a change against the spec it came from without toggling tabs. We've felt this friction most when AI agents generate multiple interdependent PRs in a sprint. Does Linear Diffs support inline comments that sync bidirectionally with GitHub's review state?

with agents pushing PRs constantly now, having review right next to the issue is actually necessary not just convenient. nice timing on this

Rendering PR diffs inside the issue context solves a real context-switching problem. We've lost too much review state bouncing between GitHub threads and Linear tickets. Since reviews sync back to GitHub, curious how you're handling force-pushes mid-review. Does the diff view update automatically, or does it require a manual refresh?

I haven't used Linear, just out of curiousity, isn't it mostly a PM tool ? If so, why would we need to review PR here ? Shouldn't it be in the IDE / coding tool ? I didn't get the use case.

One thing we've seen with AI-generated code is that PR volume goes up faster than review capacity. Are teams using this primarily to speed up reviews, or to reduce the amount of context reviewers need to load before giving feedback?

Code review inside Linear makes a lot of sense now that agents can create PRs directly from issues. The hard part is keeping the review anchored to the original intent, not just the diff. Curious how you handle stacked or related PRs from the same Linear issue.

I dont read diffs anymore tho, there are just too many prs. But I do ask 3 agents to read them on every PR and just give me the gist. Can it do smth like that?
