How to Bulk Edit Issues in Linear

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to update multiple Linear issues at once in bulk.

Quick summary

Bulk editing issues in Linear lets you select multiple issues at once and apply changes like status updates in a single action. This saves time by letting teams manage and move issues — such as sending them to the backlog — without editing each one individually.


Steps

  1. Go to the issue list in your Linear workspace.
  2. Select multiple issues by clicking the checkbox of each individual issue.
  3. Open the bulk actions bar that appears at the bottom and select Move to Backlog.
  4. Your selected issues are now updated — use bulk edit to efficiently manage and update multiple issues at once.

📌 Why this matters

Linear's bulk edit feature is essential for engineering and product teams managing large backlogs of work. Instead of opening and updating each issue one by one, users can select multiple issues simultaneously and apply status changes — like moving items to the backlog — in a single action. This dramatically reduces the time spent on issue triage and sprint planning, keeping workflows fast and organized. For teams tracking dozens or hundreds of active issues, bulk editing in Linear is a critical productivity tool that helps maintain a clean, accurate project board.
