For more information about required reviews, see "[About required reviews for pull requests](/articles/about-required-reviews-for-pull-requests)."
You can comment on a pull request, approve the changes, or request improvements before approving. For more information, see "[About required reviews for pull requests](/articles/about-required-reviews-for-pull-requests)" and "[Reviewing proposed changes in a pull request](/articles/reviewing-proposed-changes-in-a-pull-request)."

**Tip**: If a pull request you approved has changed significantly, you can dismiss your review. The pull request will need a new review before it can be merged. For more information, see "[Dismissing a pull request review](/articles/dismissing-a-pull-request-review)."
