Linear's October 8 release brings clearer visibility into code changes and AI usage. Stacked pull requests now appear in Linear Diffs, with review, CI and merge status for every PR in the stack. Reviewers and leads see what's ready at a glance. Open Reviews from the sidebar. Diffs now update in real time during coding sessions, including uncommitted changes. Engineers can catch wrong turns early and steer the agent. Open the coding session on the delegated issue to follow along. For billing admins and owners, a new usage explorer breaks down AI credit spend by team, feature, user or loop, and spend limits keep it in bounds. Find both in Settings, Usage and Limits. Read the October 8 release notes, and explore the updates in Linear.
How it works
One source. A repeatable workflow.
Start with
Published release notes
Create in
ngram
Make
Release roundup video
Collect the release notes and real product visuals
Select the shipped changes for this release. Record the release period, affected users and the place to find each feature. Attach screenshots or recordings when the explanation needs to show a control.
Open the starter in ngram
Choose Open in ngram to carry the starting prompt into your workspace. Sign in if prompted, replace the bracketed details with your own, and add source files. Review the brief and choose your settings before creating.
Create and review your video
Check your selected settings and the total estimate, then choose Create video. If a plan is offered, read it and use Request changes or Approve plan. ngram-flash starts production directly. Keep the same conversation while the video is being made.
Check feature availability and navigation
Compare each narrated change with the release notes. Confirm that availability, plan restrictions and navigation match the shipped feature. Keep roadmap ideas out of the shipped-update list. Play the full preview and use chat or Make changes for corrections.
Your starting point
Start with the prompt.
Open the starting prompt in ngram, add your source, then review and create your video.
Edit this if you like, or open it in ngram and add your source there. You’ll review the brief and settings before creating.
Review. Then deliver.
A playable video appears in the conversation. Play it and compare it with your source before choosing how to deliver it.
While your video is being made
Read the latest conversation message. Answer a question or approve a plan when asked; otherwise let the active generation finish. You can return to the conversation from Projects.
Share a link
Open Share to publish a public watch link on any plan. Choose an unlisted link on Basic or above when you want access by link without public discovery. Anyone with an unlisted link can watch; check the source is suitable for that audience.
Download the video
On a paid plan, choose Download for the MP4. Wait for Preparing download to finish when shown, then play the downloaded file before delivering it.
If the workflow needs attention
Reopen the same conversation and read the error. Preserve the project link, use an offered retry once for the failed step, and contact Support if it fails again.
- The source cannot be read
- Check the URL and permissions. Provide the relevant text or attach an authorized file in ngram, then ask for the missing source to be used in the same conversation.
- The result misses a fact or step
- Quote the source and identify the exact line or scene to correct. Request a targeted change in the same project, then replay the corrected section and its surrounding context.
- The shared version is out of date
- Open Share and choose Republish when offered. Open the watch link in another tab and verify that it shows the intended version.
Keep the workflow. Change the story.
- 01
Refresh the release source
Replace the source and reporting period for each release. Keep the same audience and format when they still fit; check that screenshots and the final link are current.
- 02
Keep the project and delivery link together
Save the project link with the source version and shared link. For a revision, reopen that project and ask for the change; for a new topic, return to this workflow and fill in a fresh brief.
