  1. When adding revisions to a review created from a shelveset, RA will query shelvesets from TFS. However, our company has thousands of developers, and the number of shelvesets is very large. In the default query conditions of Add Revisions, "Author" and "Get last" are empty, resulting in VS having no response for a long time when clicking Add Revisions. We hope that when adding revisions with shelveset, RA will specify Author as the current user by default, thus speeding up the query.

  2. Adding a comment from code gets slower when the amount of comments increases. This already starts at say 15 comments
    Steps we take: when in code, right click where to place a comment, click Add comment. Then it takes a second or 2 before the comment input is visible in the board.

  3. The scrolling experience in the comments part of the board is quite laggy. This gets worse when the amount of comments increases. It is always there, but starts showing clearly with already 20 comments. So scrolling in the upper, overview, part the scrolling experience is normal, but in the comments part it gets laggy.

  4. As a developer, I want to be able to filter for reviews with missing reviewers.

    In our team we normally require two reviewers per review, sometimes only one. If a developer of our team looks for a review to join, he needs to check all tooltips of the open reviews if the required number of reviewers has already joined. If one reviewer has already joined, the review is not shown in "My Reviews", so this filter does not fulfill our needs. To achieve short review cycles in the team, developers check the reviews regularly.

    A possible solution would be to…

  7. We use VS Code more than Visual Studio when developing web based applications. It makes sense to support all Visual Studio products.

  9. Support Iterative Reviews on Shelvesets, like you do for normal changesets. What good is your new pre-commit check-in policy without this?

  10. The review overview list is very minimal. It would be nice to get more information at one glance. Now you have to open each review separatly or hover over the reviews to see things like:
    - What tasknumbers and/or changesets are involved in a review.
    - How many reviewers have accepted already

  11. When you click the View link, directly open the review that caused the pop-up to appear. Now you end up in the review overview list without knowing which review was changed.

  12. The 'a review changed pop-up' appears on any change in a review. This can be very distracting. It would be nice to be able to configure when and or it appears:
    - or you want to see it at all
    - when you want to see it
    - or it stays visible or disappears after a while

  13. Computer name visible on network can differ from the name detected by RA server. So links in notifications cannot be opened. it would be great if there will be a possibility to override this name in RA server config.

  14. The GitHub Visual Studio extension v2.4.3.1737 just did this and it's pure genius. See https://haacked.com/archive/2018/03/15/github-vs-pr-features/ for details. This would probably be easier to add this feature than setting up the UI and persistence to implement the idea at https://devart.uservoice.com/forums/145340-review-assistant/suggestions/5744139-option-to-set-a-default-action-when-opening-compar and nets the same result.

  15. Currently, when a file is renamed and/or moved, 2 entries will appear in the changed files list. The old file will appear as deleted and the new file will appear as added. While by itself is only a nuisance, if any changes occur in the added file there is no way to compare them with the deleted file. Since rename/moving a file may also introduce changes in the file itself (like for example a changed namespace and class name) it becomes problematic to code review these cases.
    As far as Git is concerned (with the proper git command) there exists…

  16. Or through some other mechanism like a conversation ID. Our old tool (Swarm) used the exact same subject line for every email, which I think Outlook and other email apps are able to use to sort all messages about a review into the various conversation views you see around these days. Review Assistant seems to constantly alter the subject line so my Review Assistant email folder is just a jumbled mess of seemingly unrelated emails. If you could add an option to not prevent this sorting from occurring (in Outlook, at least?) I think it would greatly assist most people's…

  18. I want to be able to search my email history for a file name and find which review had been created for it (with the link). Being able to search by the revision/changeset number would also be helpful.

    If the New Review notification (as well as the notification that a new revision/changeset has been added to a review) would list the revisions and the files within each, that would be very helpful.

  19. The only place I see the review number is in the notification emails. I want to be able to reference a review in conversation by number, as the titles can be verbose and difficult to distinguish from each other in some cases. Either show it all the time just before the title, or at least display it in the hover text.

  20. As a reviewer of Git code who doesn’t have the author’s repo locally, I want a better experience reviewing Git code seamlessly without pulling changes to the Git repo manually, so that I can review code quickly and without hassle.
