Use this interactive demo to learn how to filter issues by priority, assignee, and labels in Linear.

Quick summary

Linear's issue filtering feature lets you narrow down your Issues list by criteria such as priority, assignee, and labels, helping teams focus on the work that matters most. This walkthrough shows how to apply a filter in just a few clicks using Linear's built-in filter panel.


Steps

  1. Navigate to the Issues section in your Linear workspace to access the list you want to filter.
  2. Click the filter icon (funnel symbol) in the top-right corner of the Issues view to open the filter panel.
  3. Select a filter option such as priority, assignee, or labels from the available filter criteria.
  4. Choose the specific assignee you want to filter issues by.
  5. Confirm that the filter has been applied — your Issues list will now display only the matching results.

📌 Why this matters

Filtering issues in Linear is essential for engineering and product teams managing large backlogs across multiple projects. By letting users instantly narrow their Issues view by priority, assignee, or label, Linear reduces noise and helps individuals focus only on the work relevant to them. This capability improves sprint planning accuracy, speeds up triage workflows, and ensures no critical issue gets buried. Teams that use Linear's issue filters consistently report faster response times and more organized project tracking.
