## Reviewing {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}'s changes
|
|
|
|
After {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} has finished working on a coding task, and has requested a pull request review from you, you should review {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}'s work thoroughly before merging the pull request.
|
|
|
|
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
|
> If you have the "Required reviews" rule or branch protection enabled, you won't be able to approve pull requests that you initiated by assigning the related issue to {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}. Someone else must approve the pull request before it can be merged.
|
|
|
|
You can ask {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} to make changes using pull request comments, or you can check out {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}'s branch and make changes yourself.
|
|
|
|
> [!TIP]
|
|
> We recommend you batch your review comments instead of submitting them individually.
|
|
|
|
When you leave a comment on {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}'s pull request, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} will consider your comment, and decide whether to start a new agent session to respond.
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.copilot.coding-agent.write-access-required %}
|
|
|
|
If {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} starts a new agent session in response to your comment, an eyes emoji (👀) is added as a reaction to the comment, and a "Copilot has started work" event is added to the pull request timeline.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
{% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} may ignore a comment if it considers that the comment was not intended for it. If you are sure that you want {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} to respond to your comment, you can @mention {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} by including `@copilot` in your comment.
|
|
|
|
> [!TIP]
|
|
> If you don't want {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} to respond to comments on a pull request, you can unassign {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} from the pull request. If you later reassign {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} to the same pull request it will respond to new comments and push more changes. It will not respond to comment that were added while it was not assigned.
