Code reviews

Code reviews provide a way to group related files or changes and request feedback from others without affecting the current file contents. Reviewers can provide comments directly in the code review. All review information is stored in Surround SCM and can be referenced as users work with source files.

Code review authors are typically users who make file changes, create the review, and add files to it. When the review is ready, the author starts it to notify the reviewers. The reviewers add comments to the files and changes, and then mark files as completed when they finish reviewing them. When all reviewers complete the review, authors address the review comments and submit the revisions for another review until all files are approved. See About the code review process.
