Quick summary

Linear's Team Triage feature lets teams route and prioritize incoming issues before they enter the main workflow. Enabling triage through Team Settings ensures unreviewed issues are captured in a dedicated queue rather than cluttering active cycles.

Steps

Select your team from the Linear sidebar to begin configuring its settings.
Navigate to Team Settings for the selected team.
Open the Workflow section within Team Settings.
Locate the Triage option under Workflow and click on it.
Toggle Triage ON to enable the triage queue for your team.
Confirm the success notification that appears once triage has been enabled.

📌 Why this matters

Team Triage in Linear gives engineering and product teams a structured way to capture, review, and prioritize incoming issues before they enter an active workflow. By enabling a dedicated triage queue, teams prevent unreviewed work from disrupting sprint cycles and ensure nothing slips through the cracks. This feature is especially valuable for teams managing high volumes of bug reports, customer requests, or cross-team tasks that need an explicit review step. Setting up triage in Linear takes under a minute and immediately improves how teams handle issue intake at scale.
