 ## Using the {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} app in Linear
 
-The first time you use the {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} app in Linear, you will need to connect it to your {% data variables.product.github %} account.

+## Customizing {% data variables.copilot.copilot_cloud_agent %} in Linear
+
+You can customize how {% data variables.copilot.copilot_cloud_agent %} runs in Linear, either per issue or across your entire workspace by using Linear's agent guidance. Recurring preferences such as a default repository, a preferred model, or branch conventions are best set once with [Linear agent guidance](#using-linear-agent-guidance).
+
+### Using Linear agent guidance
+
+Linear's agent guidance is a prompt that you set at the workspace or team level. Linear automatically passes this guidance to {% data variables.copilot.copilot_cloud_agent %} every time you trigger it.
+
+Common uses for agent guidance include:
+
+* Specifying a default repository to open pull requests against.
+* Specifying a preferred model.
+* Specifying a custom agent to use.
+* Defining branch-naming conventions or a default base branch.
+
+For more information about Linear's agent guidance, see [Guiding agents](https://linear.app/docs/agents-in-linear#guiding-agents) in the Linear documentation.
+
+### Choosing a model
+
+When you trigger {% data variables.copilot.copilot_cloud_agent %} from a Linear issue you can choose which model {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} uses by specifying the model in the issue description. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/how-tos/use-copilot-agents/cloud-agent/changing-the-ai-model).
+
+To set a default model for every run in your workspace or team, add it to your agent guidance. See [Using Linear agent guidance](#using-linear-agent-guidance).
+
+### Using a custom agent
+
+You can have {% data variables.copilot.copilot_cloud_agent %} use a custom agent from your {% data variables.product.github %} repository when it opens a pull request from Linear by specifying which agent to use in the issue description. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/how-tos/copilot-on-github/customize-copilot/customize-cloud-agent/create-custom-agents).
+
+To always use the same custom agent across your workspace or team, specify it in your agent guidance. See [Using Linear agent guidance](#using-linear-agent-guidance).
+
+### Setting the base branch and working branch
+
+When {% data variables.copilot.copilot_cloud_agent %} opens a pull request from a Linear issue, you can choose:
+
+* The **base branch** the pull request targets.
+* The **working branch** name {% data variables.copilot.copilot_cloud_agent %} uses for its commits.
+
+To apply the same base branch or branch-naming convention across every run, add it to your agent guidance. See [Using Linear agent guidance](#using-linear-agent-guidance).
+
+### Steering a session
+
+After you trigger {% data variables.copilot.copilot_cloud_agent %} from a Linear issue, you can continue to direct the agent. To do this, mention `@{% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %}` in a comment on the Linear issue with additional instructions, or input additional instructions in the agent chat panel.
