Requesting review for code that has already been merged

With PullRequest, you can have code you've already merged reviewed by PullRequest engineers with feedback posted directly to your version control provider

Having your previously merged code reviewed by PullRequest is especially useful for teams who are time-constrained with merge deadlines, but still want those changes to be looked over by PullRequest network engineers.

It's also useful for re-visiting code that was merged at a point in time an issue was introduced - like a bug or noticeable decrease in performance.

NOTE: PullRequest's platform support for reviewing previously merged code involves a review of a pull/merge request. If the code files you wish to have reviewed were committed outside of a pull/merge request (ie - directly to master), you can have it reviewed by staging a new pull/merge request with the file(s) "staged" as an addition. Contact [email protected] if you have any questions.

How long do code review jobs for merged code remain active in PullRequest?

Typically, code review jobs created for Open merged/pull requests will remain active in the PullRequest network until their status changes to either Closed or Merged.

When code review jobs are created based on a pull/merge request that has already been Closed or Merged, they will remain active in the network until:

• It's cancelled by you or one of your team members.

• Or, 48 hours pass after feedback was posted by the PullRequest network and no update has been made to the pull/merge request in your version control provider.

In the event one of the above criteria is met and code review job becomes inactive, you can always send the pull/merge request to the PullRequest network again to create to start the cycle over.

Step 1: Select an organization and project

1.) Log into the PullRequest dashboard and select the desired organization and project from the top of the screen.

Your organizations will be denoted by the same name and avatar image as in your version control provider (ie - GitHub, Bitbucket, or GitLab).

2.) Once an organization is selected, click on a project from either the adjacent drop-down or from the list.

Step 2: Request review

1.) Click the Reviews icon from the sidebar to see a list of your projects pull/merge requests in chronological order (creation date).

2.) Click the Request Review button for any pull/merge requests with a Closed or Merged status.
