Connecting Linear

Last updated: June 29, 2026

Connect Linear so Highlight can access your issues, projects, and teams — helping you track work and pull in project context.

Set up the integration

  1. Open Highlight and go to Settings.

  2. In the left sidebar, under Connections, select Integrations.

  3. Under Add Integrations, find Linear and click the + button on its card.

  4. A Linear sign-in window opens. Sign in to the account you want to connect.

  5. Review the access Highlight requests, then click Approve (or Authorize).

  6. You’ll be returned to Highlight automatically. Linear now appears under Active Integrations.

What you can do once connected

  • Access issues, projects, and teams you belong to.

  • Reference Linear work items as context.

Heads up:  If your account is managed by an employer (a work or enterprise plan), an administrator may need to approve Highlight before you can connect. If you see an “approval required” message, see Integrations and Admin Approval for what to send your admin.

Manage or disconnect

Open the ⋮ menu on the Linear card under Active Integrations to reconnect or remove the integration.
