About reviewing pull requests

You can review changes in a pull request one file at a time. While reviewing the files in a pull request, you can leave individual comments on specific changes.{% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" or currentVersion ver_gt "enterprise-server@2.18" %} After you finish reviewing each file, you can mark the file as viewed. This collapses the file, helping you identify the files you still need to review. A progress bar in the pull request header shows the number of files you've viewed.{% endif %} After reviewing as many files as you want, you can approve the pull request or request additional changes by submitting your review with a summary comment.
