For more information about required reviews, see "[About protected branches](/github/administering-a-repository/about-protected-branches#require-pull-request-reviews-before-merging)."
You can comment on a pull request, approve the changes, or request improvements before approving. For more information, see "[Reviewing proposed changes in a pull request](/articles/reviewing-proposed-changes-in-a-pull-request)."
