The Backlog View in Linear helps you manage and prioritize future work that isn’t yet planned for an active cycle. It acts as a holding area for tasks before they are scheduled.
- To use Linear's Backlog view, navigate to your team's sidebar.
- Select 'Backlog'.
- The Backlog is where you store new ideas and issues that haven't been prioritized or added to your team's active roadmap yet.
- Create new issues directly in the Backlog view by clicking the add icon.
- When ready, move issues from the Backlog to the 'Active Issues' view to start working on them.
- Utilize filters and sorting options to organize your Backlog based on specific criteria like labels, assignees, or due dates.
- You can easily switch between different views like 'Active Issues' and 'Backlog' using keyboard shortcuts or the sidebar navigation.
