Linear Adds a New Home for Team Documents

Project management tool Linear now offers a dedicated page for every team to keep its essential notes and shared references organized.

Project management tool Linear has launched a new feature called Team Documents. It gives every team a dedicated page to store and organize important information that doesn't belong to a specific task, project, or initiative. Teams can create new documents directly from their homepage, add existing documents from other parts of the platform, and group all these resources together. This creates a single, accessible hub for shared knowledge that supports a team's work over the long term, moving crucial context out of isolated tickets and into a centralized location.

This update directly addresses a common challenge for development and product teams: where to keep evergreen information like onboarding guides, technical specifications, meeting notes, or team principles. Previously, this knowledge often lived in separate applications like Notion or Google Docs, forcing users to switch between tools and risk information becoming outdated or lost. By integrating documentation directly into the workflow, Linear helps reduce this friction. It makes it easier for everyone, from new hires to senior engineers, to find the context they need to do their work effectively, improving overall team alignment and efficiency.

Linear's move into team-level documentation positions it more competitively against all-in-one workspace platforms. Many software teams try to consolidate their tool stack to simplify workflows and reduce costs. By adding a native knowledge base, Linear strengthens its value proposition as a central hub for software development. This feature allows teams to manage their entire lifecycle, from planning and execution to documentation and knowledge sharing, all within a single, familiar environment, which is particularly appealing for startups and tech companies looking to streamline their operations.
