# Priority inbox

By Steven Van · 2026-09-03

An active workspace can create a significant amount of notifications each day, and until now your inbox treated them all the same.

[Linear](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/linear>) is splitting its inbox into two views. A new **Priority** tab separates notifications that need attention now from ones that can wait, so something like a review blocking a release doesn't get buried under lower-priority updates.

Linear decides what lands in Priority by default, but the tab can be customized by picking specific notification sources or building a filter. The existing, unsorted inbox is still there for anyone who wants to keep using it as before. The [priority inbox](<https://linear.app/changelog/2026-09-03-priority-inbox>) can be turned on from the inbox display options.
