# GitHub Projects: Import items based on a query and hierarchy view improvements

**[GitHub Changelog](https://daily.dev/sources/github_updates)** · 1 min read · 44 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

GitHub Projects has received two notable updates. First, when creating a new project, users can now import items using a search query with full support for advanced filters (AND/OR keywords, nested queries) — not just by importing directly from a repository. Second, the hierarchy view (launched in public preview in January 2026) has been improved with inline sub-issue creation, drag-and-drop reordering and reparenting, and synchronized sub-issue ordering between issues and projects. Upcoming improvements include deduplication of issues in the hierarchy, persistent expand/collapse state, and filtering for sub-issues.
