Deep version control

Select specfic engine and driver versions per workflow, sync with GitHub, and run legacy versions on the latest platform—ensuring updates without disruption or downtime.

Simplified collaboration

LINQ’s secure, browser-based access means teams can monitor and manage workflows from anywhere—streamlining remote collaboration and oversight.
