Code Review Editor

The Code Review editor is opened from a Story/Task and contains all the features you need to perform your Code Review. You can create Code Reviews several ways:

Click Action > Create Review on a Story/Task.
If a Story/Task has an associated change set but no Code Review, click the change set icon and you will be prompted if you want to start a Code Review.

Kanban

In a Kanban Board, this icon is attached to the bottom of the Story.

Scrum

For Scrum, the icon is in the Code Review column.

The Code Review window contains everything you need to perform a complete code review:

Information Pane

The top Information Pane of the Code Review contains the Code Review ID and current Status (Active, Closed, Cancelled) as well as Story's Name, Type and Owner.

The Actions icon allows you to change the Status or to delete the review.

Authors Group

This list contains the user(s) who made the commit(s) in the SCM tool that are exposed in the Code Review.

Reviewers Group

Reviewers are any users that are added to the Code Review that will comment on and must Approve/Reject a Code Review.

Click Add to add a Reviewer.

Watchers Group

Watchers are any users that are added to the Code Review that are interested in the progress of the Code Review. Watchers are able to add comments to a review.

Click Add to add a Watcher.

View By Group

The View By group is the list of all files contained in the Code Review. You can use either the Files or Change Sets mode to select a file.

Click Add to add a Change Set or File to the Code Review.

Selecting a file opens the Diff window allowing you to review the code changes.

Files that contain Comment threads are decorated like this:

Code Review Timeline

The Timeline shows all actions that have taken place for the Code Review since it began. The Timeline contains filters for From/To, Type, and User.

Code Review Diff Pane

When you select a file in the View By group, the main pane displays the file in Diff mode. You can use the Unified or Side By Side view to review and comment on the code.
