Step-by-step guide
Step 1
Open the workspace menu
In the top left of Linear, click your workspace name, **Arclet Content** in this example. A menu opens with workspace-level options.
Step 2
Choose Invite and manage members
In the menu, click **Invite and manage members**. Linear opens the workspace settings on the Members page.
Step 3
Click Invite
The Members page lists the people in your workspace and has a search box and a member filter. Click **Invite** at the top right to open the invite dialog.
Step 4
Enter an email address
The **Invite to your workspace** dialog opens. Click the **Email** field and type your teammate's email address. You can add more than one address in the same field.
Step 5
Pick the teams
Under **Add to team** (optional), click **Select teams…** and tick the team the new member should join. The button then shows the team key, such as MKT.
Step 6
Review and send the invite
Check the email address and team, then click **Send invites** to send the invitation. In this guide we only pointed at the button and did not send an invite.
Why this matters
You have set up your workspace and a team, and now a new colleague needs access to the same issues and projects. Inviting them by email, with the right team selected, means they land in the correct team and can start working right away.
Frequently asked questions
Can I add the new member to a team while inviting them?
Yes. The invite dialog has an optional Add to team field. Click Select teams… and choose one or more teams before you send the invite.
Can I invite several people at once?
The Email field accepts more than one address, as its placeholder text shows, so you can invite several people in a single dialog.
