Code review should be fast

Linear has introduced Diffs, a new feature designed to enhance the speed and efficiency of code reviews within its platform by addressing issues such as slow review processes and high pull request volumes that hinder productivity. Diffs aims to streamline the review process by providing instant access, focusing on relevant changes, and integrating context directly within the Linear workspace, allowing reviews to be prioritized alongside other tasks. It breaks down large diffs into manageable chapters, highlighting significant changes while filtering out formatting noise, thereby making substantial pull requests more comprehensible. Diffs also integrates issues, projects, and customer signals into the review process, reducing the need for reviewers to switch between multiple tools and enabling them to focus on the architectural and problem-solving aspects of the code. This tool reflects Linear's ongoing effort to create a seamless workspace where all stages of product development occur in one place, and it is available on all Linear plans as of May 28, 2026.
