# Keep Linear issues in Obsidian

Your workspace as notes in your vault, with Linear's fields as properties.

## Steps

1. Press "Connect" beside Linear under Cloud on Exporter's home, sign in with Apple, and press "Authorize" on Linear's page in your browser.
2. Choose a folder inside your vault, like `~/Documents/Vault/Linear`, and press "Use This Folder". A folder inside a vault is used as it is.
3. Untick what you don't want on the pick page: issues, projects or documents.
4. Press "Sync Now". From then on, a change in Linear reaches the note within a minute.

## What you get

```text
Vault/Linear/
  Northwind/
    NW-142 Invite flow.md
  Projects/
    Q4 launch.md
  Documents/
    Q4 launch/
      Launch plan.md
```

Obsidian shows the front matter as properties: the state, priority, assignee, labels, project and dates. Filter by them in a base or a query, link an issue from a meeting note with its name, and search the comments with the rest of your vault. The `source_url` property opens the issue in Linear.

## Pitfalls

- The notes are read only in effect: an edit in Obsidian is replaced at the next change in Linear. Write your own notes beside them, not in them.
- An issue you archive or delete in Linear loses its note. Keep what must stay in a note of your own.
- The first 7 days are free; then Exporter Cloud is a subscription, and when it ends the notes stay where they are.

Every field is in [the Linear docs](https://exporter.dev/docs/linear).
