Reviewing your teammate's changes

As a reviewer you typically perform the following sequence of tasks:

  1. Go to the review and examine the changes.
  2. Leave your feedback and participate in discussion.
  3. Optionally invite other participants.
  4. Complete review by CR accept face small accepting or CR concern face small raising concern about the changes.

Examine changes

When someone invites you to take part in a review, you'll receive a notice in your email containing a direct link to that review.

Follow the link to proceed to the review page.

Its main pane shows the Review summary that lists all events and comments related to the review:

The files with changes are listed under the Overview tab. Click on the file name to display the inline diff:

From here you can go to a side-by-side diff or view the entire file by pushing the corresponding button. These views let you thoroughly examine the code: Find usages, Go to declaration, View hierarchy of a selected element, and more.

Select revisions

When new revisions are added to the review, you only see the diff of those revisions and can proceed with reviewing without having to inspect previously committed changes once again. If you want to show or hide any additional revisions within a review, use a revision selector that quickly toggles revisions on and off:
