Reviewing files in code reviews

You can review the changes made between file versions or review entire files in code reviews.

If changes in a file version were added to the review, the version number is included in the review information. When you open the file for review, the differences between versions are displayed. See Reviewing changes between file versions.
If an entire file was added to the review, all file version numbers are included in the review information. When you open the file for review, the most current file version is displayed. If comments were added outside of the code review process, those comments are also displayed. See Reviewing files.

You can also add comments to source files without using the code review process. You are prompted to add the file to a review when you add the first comment. If the comments are related to an existing review, add the files to it. If a review does not exist, create one and select the author who needs the feedback. The comments are available when the author views their unapproved code reviews, but you may want to separately notify the author that you added comments to make sure they address them.
