Linear expands mobile coding review and Guided Reviews
Linear added mobile review and steering for coding sessions and made Guided Reviews generally available on Business and Enterprise plans, with support for larger pull requests and improved review latency.
Why it matters
Teams using Linear to coordinate coding agents can now review diffs, leave line-level feedback, and steer active sessions away from the desk. Guided Reviews also provide a more structured review path for larger pull requests, so teams should include mobile review and plan eligibility when evaluating Linear as an agent-workflow control surface.
