Our reading
Choose Linear when turning a meeting into decisions and follow-ups. Choose Microsoft Copilot when reading the summary instead of the thread. If neither limitation is acceptable, the safest move is to open both official pages and re-check the two facts that matter to you — the ones above are dated 30 Oct 2026 and 30 Oct 2026.
