Linear restore scope

This page is our honest contract. Every entity we back up, every entity we don't, every field we mark experimental. No fluff.

Backed up - full inventory

Issues

identifier, title, description, priority, createdAt, updatedAt, assignee (mapped), creator (mapped), state, team, project, cycle, parent, url, comments, attachments

Comments

body, createdAt, updatedAt, author (mapped), issue

Projects

name, description, state, lead (mapped), teams, createdAt, updatedAt, url

Cycles

name, number, startsAt, endsAt, team

Teams

name, identifier, workflow states, labels

Workflow states + labels

name, color, type

Documents

title, content, project, creator (mapped), createdAt, updatedAt

Attachments

title, subtitle, url, createdAt, updatedAt, file bytes (when Linear-hosted)

Not backed up - honest list

Bit-exact restoration of the original workspace
Original Linear-generated issue numbers, URLs, or activity history
Audit logs, notification feeds, document revision history
Linear AI / Asks / notification feeds
Linear users, authentication identities, SCIM/SAML, sessions, roles, security config (we map to existing users where permissions allow)
Third-party integrations, OAuth grants, webhook secrets, external sync state
Jira-style custom fields unless Linear exposes a stable API-accessible field surface
External file contents behind Slack, GitHub, Zendesk, Salesforce URLs (unless those systems are separately authorized)
