Sync behavior

Push

  • Creating an issue in Lisa creates it in Linear
  • Status changes in Lisa update Linear state
  • Priority and label changes are synced

Pull

  • New Linear issues appear in Lisa
  • State changes in Linear update Lisa status
  • Assignee and priority changes are reflected

Conflicts

When the same issue is modified in both tools between sync cycles:

  1. Lisa detects the conflict
  2. Navigate to the Sync dropdown in the sidebar
  3. Review conflicts and choose the preferred version

Tips

  • Use Lisa for planning and issue creation — it produces richer issues
  • Use Linear for day-to-day development tracking
  • Conflicts are rare when teams agree on which tool owns which workflow stage
