Summary
A Linear view saves a filtered list of issues, and where you save it decides who can open it. Saving to Workspace instead of Personal puts the same list in front of everyone you work with.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1
Open Views
Click **Views** under Workspace in the left sidebar. Linear opens the list of saved views, which is empty until someone creates one.
Step 2
Start a new view
Click **New view** in the top right corner. Linear opens a new view editor on top of the full issue list.
Step 3
Name the view
Click the title field and type a name your team will recognize, such as Sprint overview. A clear name matters more once other people see the view in their own lists.
Step 4
Open the Save to menu
Click **Save to** next to the title. The button shows **Personal** by default, so a new view is not shared until you change it.
Step 5
Choose who can see the view
Pick **Workspace** from the menu. The Save to button now shows Workspace, which means the view is saved for the workspace rather than just for you.
Step 6
Create the shared view
Click **Create view**. Linear saves the view and opens it with its issue list.
Step 7
Check the view's visibility
Look at the details panel on the right. **Visibility** reads Workspace and **Owner** shows who created the view, so you can confirm the view is shared.
Why this matters
You built a view that tracks the work your team keeps asking about. If it stays Personal, you end up answering the same question by hand. Saving it to Workspace gives everyone the same up-to-date list.
