Team initiatives
Linear adds team ownership for initiatives and private-team visibility for confidential planning.
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.
For work that requires tighter access, initiatives led by private teams are only visible to team members. This creates a secure place for confidential planning, regulated projects, audits, and other restricted work.
Learn more about initiatives in the docs.

Weekly product changelog, August 7, 2026
Sunsama adds two-factor authentication and improves task, calendar, and integration workflows with better syncing, steadier daily highlights, smarter focus bar behavior, and fixes for Microsoft Planner, Google Tasks, Outlook, iCloud, Gmail MCP, recurring tasks, and more.
Added
Two-factor authentication: Add an extra layer of security to your account. Turn it on from Settings → Account, scan a QR code with your authenticator app of choice, and you're enrolled. Backup codes are provided in case you lose access to your device.
Improved
Clicking the focus bar now just brings the Sunsama window forward, instead of also forcing focus mode on whatever task was in the bar.
Daily highlights email time no longer drifts. Dragging the shutdown line for a single day only changes that day's draft time.
Microsoft Planner's group picker now shows every group in your organization, not just the first 100, and groups you're actually a member of sort to the top.
Changing a task's planned time no longer bumps it up or down the list by priority; it stays put and only shifts to keep the day in chronological order.
Completing a task now syncs everywhere. Checking off a task linked to Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do, or Microsoft Planner updates the source item no matter where you complete it: mobile, Sunny, MCP, or the app.
Fixed
Recurring tasks no longer skip an occurrence when you change the repeat frequency after moving the task to a new day.
Monday.com board loading no longer hangs indefinitely on a failed connection.
The global "add task" shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+A → Ctrl+Enter) now correctly switches Focus Mode to the new task.
Tasks created from Gmail via MCP now include a link back to the source email.
"Hide declined events" now works for Outlook and iCloud calendars, not just Google.
Microsoft Planner no longer shows a stale plan selection after switching groups.

Coding sessions on mobile
Linear expands its coding workflow with mobile code reviews, Guided Reviews now generally available, GitHub team review routing, signed commits for coding sessions, and GitHub Copilot support for assigning issues and tracking progress from Linear.
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. When you spot something to change, tap the relevant line to add it to your message to steer the coding session in the direction you want.
We’ve also added section under My Issues → Assigned for your delegated issues. It shows the status of each coding session, and gives you a quick way back into active work.
Download the Linear mobile app for
iOS
and
Android
.
Guided Reviews are now generally available
Guided Reviews break diffs into focused sections with explainers on what changed and why. As part of general availability, they are now generated for larger pull requests, with a bigger context window and better latency.
Guided Reviews are available on Business and Enterprise plans at no additional cost.
Support for GitHub teams in reviews
You can now assign reviews to GitHub teams. Review requests assigned to your GitHub teams appear in a dedicated section of the Reviews inbox. Learn more in the
docs
.
Signed commits for coding sessions
Coding sessions now support signed commits. Add your SSH or GPG key in
Settings
to enable signing.
Workspace admins can also require users to upload a signing key before using coding sessions.
GitHub Copilot for Linear
GitHub Copilot users can assign issues directly to Copilot’s cloud agent from Linear. Copilot uses the issue context to work in its own development environment, open draft pull requests, and update the issue as it makes progress.
Choose model and agent settings, set the base and working branches, then steer ongoing work through comments in Linear. To get started, install
GitHub Copilot for Linear
, or read the
GitHub announcement
for more details.

The Board Should Work For You
Trello rolls out seven new AI features for paid users, including AI-built boards, card merging, generated checklists, focus-time scheduling, AI images, and due dates from card titles, with an AI widget card coming soon to Trello Labs.
Today we’re rolling out seven new AI features across Trello for every paid user on a Standard, Premium, or Enterprise plan. Individually, each one erases a small, familiar chore. Together, they answer a bigger question we’ve been sitting with for a long time: what if the busywork mostly handled itself, so you could focus on the work that actually matters to you?
Keep the boards, lists, and cards you love. Outsource the rest to AI.
SEVEN WAYS TO SUPERCHARGE YOUR TRELLO WITH AI
- Create a board with AI
Leave the blank board behind. Describe a goal, whether it’s planning an offsite, running your first 5K race, or figuring out your meal planning for the week and Trello builds a structured, ready-to-use board in seconds, complete with lists and cards. A template is generic and waits for you to customize it. A board built with AI starts personalized. Every board defaults to private, so it’s yours to edit before anyone else sees it.
This is the one that changes how it feels to start something. The hardest part of any project is the first move; now the first move is a prompt.
- Merge multiple cards into one
A frequently asked for feature is finally here! Have two cards saying the same thing? Drag one onto the other and they become one. Trello blends the title, description, and details, carries over links, attachments, custom fields, and labels, and keeps the original context below a divider so you never lose it. The earliest due date wins; to-dos become a checklist. Don’t like the result? Undo it. The originals are archived, not deleted.
Duplicate cards are how boards quietly rot. This keeps them clean without the manual reconciliation nobody has time for.
- AI-generated checklists
One click turns a card into a plan. Trello reads the title and description and suggests a checklist of the steps to get it done. Name the checklist to steer the result, then edit, reorder, or regenerate. It’s fully editable, exactly like one you’d type yourself, only you didn’t have to type it.
- AI-recommended focus time
A task on a board isn’t done until it has a place in your day. Connect a calendar, open any card, and Trello finds open time and recommends a focus block for it. Accept, dismiss, or set natural-language rules for when and what it suggests. Turn on proactive scheduling and Trello checks daily for cards due in the next five days and blocks the time for you. It can view your calendar to suggest, never change it without your say-so.
This is where a board stops being a to-do list and starts being a plan for actually getting it done.
- AI-generated images for backgrounds and covers
Stop scrolling for the perfect image. Describe it and Trello makes it. Change a board background or add a card cover in seconds. Small thing? Maybe. But a board you’re proud to look at is a board you come back to, and coming back is the whole game.
- Set a due date from the card title
Type “Submit report by Friday” and Friday becomes the due date. Trello reads relative dates (“tomorrow”), specific ones (“December 1”), and weekday references (“this Thursday”) the moment you create a card. You were always going to set that date, now you don’t have to think about it.
- [Coming Soon to Trello Labs] AI-generated widget cards
An entirely new kind of card, live in Trello Labs later this month. Type /widget and give it a prompt (“daily AI news headlines,” “an inspirational quote at the top of my To Do list,” “the US Open schedule”) and Trello builds a richly formatted card that shows information at a glance. It’s where we’re headed: a board that doesn’t just hold your work, but brings the world into it.
GET STARTED
If you’re on a paid plan these new features are waiting for you now. Hit Create and describe a board. Drag one card onto another. Type a due date into a title and watch it move. Not on a paid plan yet? Start a 14-day Premium free trial or upgrade to turn them on.
We built these tools because sometimes you’d rather not think about building or managing a board very closely. Go make something, and tell us what you want next!

Weekly Product Changelog: July 24, 2026
Sunsama improves task handling, search, and integrations with smarter subtask completion, case- and punctuation-insensitive search, better Microsoft Planner visibility, and fixes for Outlook, Gmail, Asana, Jira, editor, and Ubuntu merge bugs.
Improved
Timer-aware subtask completion: Pressing C while a subtask's timer is running now completes that subtask instead of the whole parent task — press again to complete the parent.
Microsoft Planner: Personal Teams, Loop, and Project-backed plans now show up in the Planner picker. Previously these were invisible in Sunsama even though you could see them in planner.cloud.microsoft.
Search: Task search is now case and punctuation insensitive. Exact matches still rank highest.
Fixed
Outlook email parsing: Outlook and mixed Outlook/Gmail email threads now split into individual messages instead of collapsing into one blob, so daily highlight summaries for Outlook accounts aren't empty or truncated anymore.
Editor: Typing right after a pasted link with a custom protocol (like a Shortcuts link) followed by a space no longer swallows what you type.
Asana panel: Fixed a bug where the Asana panel could show up blank on desktop (My Tasks and projects failing to load) even though the same account worked fine on web.
Gmail tasks: Tasks and subtasks created via Autoplan or MCP with a linked Gmail thread now open the correct email, and their Gmail icons are clickable again.
Ubuntu: Alt-drag task merging works again; it no longer silently drops the task in as a reorder instead of merging.
Jira: Tasks added via MCP with a linked Jira ticket now show the ticket ID on the card instead of "-undefined."
