Use this interactive demo to learn how to configure and customize your team settings in Linear.

Quick summary

Linear's team settings let workspace admins configure members, labels, workflows, and cycles for each team from a single centralized panel. This step-by-step walkthrough covers every key setting so teams can standardize their issue management process inside Linear.


Steps

  1. Click on your profile to open the account menu.
  2. Click 'Settings' to enter the workspace settings area.
  3. Select 'Teams' from the settings sidebar.
  4. Select the team you want to manage.
  5. Change the team's name and logo for easy identification.
  6. Select 'General' to access general team settings.
  7. Review and configure general options available in the general settings panel.
  8. Click 'Members' to manage team membership.
  9. Add or remove members and set their permissions.
  10. Click 'Issue labels' to manage label configuration.
  11. Add and customize labels to categorize your team's issues.
  12. Click 'Templates' to set pre-filled templates for your team's issues.
  13. Click 'Recurring issues' to create issues on a repeating schedule.
  14. Enable Slack notifications to get updates on new issues or status changes.
  15. Set custom statuses by modifying issue workflow statuses.
  16. Enable team triage to route all new issues into a triage state for review.

📌 Why this matters

Managing team settings in Linear gives engineering and product teams precise control over how work is structured, tracked, and executed. Teams can customize members and permissions, define issue labels, set up templates and recurring issues, configure custom workflow statuses, and enable triage — all without leaving Linear. This level of configurability reduces onboarding friction, enforces consistent processes across squads, and ensures every issue follows a predictable lifecycle. For teams evaluating project management tools, Linear's granular team settings are a key differentiator that supports scalable, process-driven software delivery.
