Comment and ask

Threads work the way you expect from a pull request. This page covers what is specific to Viewport.

  • On a line. In Changes, hover over a line and click the + beside its number.
  • On a file. In Changes, click the comment icon at the right of the file’s header.
  • On the whole review. In Activity, use the comment box at the bottom.

Every thread also appears in Activity, in the order it was started, labeled with where it sits. Reply, edit and resolve from either place.

On the Overview or Activity tab, Reviewers lists who is asked to review. Click Edit beside it to add or remove people from your organization; each person added gets a review request. Participants shows everyone who has taken part.
