Overview

Code review workflows just got more efficient. GitHub has integrated general pull request comments directly into the Files changed page, eliminating the need to switch between the "Files changed" and "Conversation" tabs to understand full context.

Key Changes

Comments Panel Integration

• A new Comments panel now displays all pull request-level comments alongside your code review
• Review code and follow high-level conversations in a single view
• Add new comments directly from the Comments panel without navigating away

Enhanced Reply Capabilities

• Quote reply functionality allows you to respond to existing comments with context preserved
• Discussions remain clear and organized with proper threading

Streamlined Review Process

• When requesting changes, you no longer need to provide a summary comment if you've already left inline comments
• Submit reviews more quickly without redundant explanations

Improved Filtering

• Resolved and unresolved comment filters now display states correctly
• Filter updates work as expected throughout the review lifecycle

What Developers Need to Do

No action required—these improvements are automatically available in the new Files changed page preview. Start using the integrated Comments panel during your next code review to keep discussions and code changes in one focused workspace.
