Reviewing files

You can review entire files in a code review. For example, you may want to review all the file contents before a new set of changes are made to existing files.

Note: You can also perform ad hoc reviews when viewing files in the Source Tree window or analyzing risk of files attached to issues. Select a file and choose Activities > Review File. You are prompted to add the file to a code review when you add the first comment. See Adding files to code reviews.

1. Open the code review and double-click the file you want to review.

The file opens in a new tab in the Code Review window.

2. To find text in the file, enter the text in the search field and click Find.

3. If you are reviewing an image file, click a button to change how differences are displayed or enter a percentage to change the magnification. See Viewing image file differences.

4. Select content you have feedback about and click Add Comment to add a comment. See Adding review comments to files.

5. Click Previous Comment and Next Comment to go to the previous or next comment.

6. Select a comment and click Mark Addressed to address it or click Address All to address all comments. See Addressing code review comments.

7. Select Show addressed comments to view comments the author already addressed from other reviews.

8. Select Completed when you finish reviewing the file. You can only mark files as completed if you are a reviewer in the code review.

The file status changes to Needs Attention or Approved when all reviewers complete the review. See Understanding code review status.
