  2. It would be nice to have a thumbs up or like type functionality to allow agreements to other comments in a review.

  3. Some filetypes do not contain handwritten sourcecode, so they do not need to be reviewed. These file clutter the list of files to be reviewed. E.g. .csproj, .vspscc, .sln, .svcinfo, .disco, .wsdl

    Please allow an exclusion list for filetypes that do not need to be reviewed. So these files do not appear anymore in the list.

  5. 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…

  6. "Accept changes" is a good disposition, but it strikes me as suboptimal to have the alternative be "reject changes". It seems like that implies that the changes should be rolled back or totally undone. More often, we want to say that "I am done with the review and I think something needs to be changed."

    So perhaps there is a better way to word it, but the best I can think of is that the ways to Complete Review should be "Accept changes" and "Recommend rework". Perhaps "Reject changes" could be a third option, but I wouldn't use it very…

  7. Visual studio has built-in support for reviewing git pull requests. It would be nice to use Review Assistant instead of weak built-in tool.

  8. Code reviews with a lot of comments become very ugly with the way comments are organized… and no way to collapse.
    having the ability to hide reviewed comments, or collapse comments and retain collapsed/hidden state across sessions for current user will help make the UI more user friendly.

  9. It is important to be able to select commits for review by searching comments field. It is hard to select commits for review based only on author name and branch name.

  10. When I view all reviews in the review window, I would like to have sort by feature, or a table with multiple columns so I can sort the list by submitted users, submitted dates, etc.

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

  12. 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.

  13. I would like the capability to specify at the project level the minimum number of "Accepts" allowed such that a review can be closed cleanly when that number is either met or exceeded. That way available reviewers can review without needing the entire list to accept.

  14. Currently users are added individually. Allow the addition of Active Directory groups as members to allow the AD group members access to code review. This makes management of access easier so that users do not need to be added individually but are added automatically when added to the AD group.

  15. Right now the development manager generates reviews for all a developer's check-ins each week. I would love to see a feature that would auto-generate reviews on a configurable schedule where each review is composed of all a developer's unreviewed check-ins for a given period.

  17. The autorefresh of the Code Review Board has some disadvantages while you are working on the list of files or on the list of review items:
    * Your position in the scrolling list is lost.
    * The review items are reordered according to their Open/Closed status.

    It would be better to just signal a refresh is due by coloring and or flashing the Refresh button (e.g. green or orange). The user can than choose if he wants to refresh the Code Review Board immediate or some time later.

  18. When I am working on my review comments one by one from top to bottom it is very disturbing that they are reordered every 10 minutes according to their Open/Closed status.

    Please make the reordering of the comments optional or just order them according to the time they are added so the ordering never changes after items are added.

  20. In Code Review Options, there is a Projects window, where a currently active project may be set. Since developers may be working on several projects at once, it would be better to set the currently-active Project based on the Solution file that is currently open.
