Code Review Diff Window

The Code Review Diff window offers two views to review the code: Unified and Side-by-side . The difference between the two modes is that Unified is the combined code and Side-by-Side has the old (from) on the left and has the new (to) on the right. Which mode you choose depends on the complexity of the changes.

Code Reviews have the following statuses: Active, Closed, Cancelled, and Rejected.

The goal of the code review is to have your Reviewers Accept your code changes and then you will be able to Close the review.

Understanding the Changes

The following color conventions are used to help you to understand the code changes:

Red: Code that was removed.
Green: Code that was added.
Purple: This is an in-line change. The Code Review feature compares differences down to a single word.

If the code changes are good as-is and do not require any discussion, click Accept (thumb's up) icon in the top-right pane of the Code Review window.

Important: If any Reviewer Rejects a Code Review, the review is put into the Rejected state. The number of Approvals does not matter.

If there are comments required for the review, continue to Commenting on the Code.
