Hierarchy view now available in GitHub Projects
Source: GitHub Changelog
What is hierarchy view?
Hierarchy view lets you see the full nesting of sub‑issues directly in GitHub Projects.
With hierarchy view enabled, you can:
- Expand and collapse sub‑issues up to eight levels deep.
- Group, slice, sort, and filter while preserving hierarchy.
- View and quickly add existing sub‑issues that aren’t in the project yet.
Getting started
To enable hierarchy view, open the View menu and turn on Show hierarchy.
Coming soon
We’re continuing to invest in hierarchy view. Next up:
- The ability to create and add sub‑issues inline, directly from the project.
- The ability to drag‑and‑drop reordering and reparenting of sub‑issues.
- A synced order between the sub‑issue list on issues and the sub‑issue list in projects.

🚀 Additional improvements to issues and projects
Performance enhancements to issues
We’re continuing to make issues faster. This week, we shipped our first performance improvement focused on making recently viewed issues feel instant. Using load times of under 200 ms as our benchmark for “instant,” this update increased the percentage of instantly loading issues from 2 % to 12 %.
This is the first of several performance improvements planned over the coming months to make working with issues consistently fast.
Other improvements
- We’ve added a new View menu in projects to make it easier to find view display options.
- There is a new REST API endpoint to create project views.
- Pull requests in the merge queue now display their merge queue state icon in projects.
- You can now paste a pull request URL from the “Development” section of an issue to quickly link items.
