# Linear
Source: https://nordvec.com/docs/guides/connectors/linear

Connect Linear to Nordvec: what it imports, how to filter searches by it, and how to connect. Developer tools.

Imports Linear issues with their comments, and your documents, projects, initiatives and cycles.

## What it imports [#what-it-imports]

Nordvec imports these from Linear: issues, comments, documents, projects, initiatives, cycles, and attachments.

Nordvec checks Linear for changes on a schedule, and a document deleted in Linear is removed at the next check.

## Filtering searches by Linear [#filtering-searches-by-linear]

Documents synced from Linear carry these `source_provider` values. Pass one to
[`/documents/search`](/docs/guides/how-to/filter-search) to restrict results to
this connector:

- `linear`

```bash
curl https://nordvec.com/api/v1/documents/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NORDVEC_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "quarterly report", "sourceProvider": "linear"}'
```

## Connecting Linear [#connecting-linear]

Connect Linear from **Connectors** in Nordvec. The connector reads with the account of the person who connects it.
Documents from Linear are private to the person who connected it until that person shares them.
An API key reads only what is shared with the workspace, so it finds these
documents once their owner shares them.
Documents are stored in the EU; every processor that touches them is published
with its jurisdiction and transfer basis at [/subprocessors](/subprocessors).
