Trigger a code review

Rovo Dev code reviews can run automatically or be triggered manually. Each repository admin can choose how code reviews are triggered in their repository.

Code review options

Code review options for Bitbucket and GitHub repositories are:

• Only when pull request is created—code reviews run automatically when a pull request is created, but not for subsequent commits. This is the default option.

• When pull request is created and on each commit—code reviews run automatically when a pull request is created and whenever a new commit is made.

• Don’t review automatically—code reviews only run when the author starts them manually.

Manually trigger a code review in Bitbucket

Only pull request authors can manually trigger a code review for their pull requests. To manually trigger a review:

1. Go to the pull request.

2. In the Rovo Dev section in the Overview tab, select Review code.

3. Wait a few minutes for the review to complete, then refresh the page.

Rovo Dev will add comments if it finds potential improvements or bugs. If Rovo Dev doesn’t have any feedback, it won’t leave any comments.

Manually trigger a code review in GitHub

Only pull request authors can manually trigger a code review for their pull requests.

To manually trigger a review:

1. In GitHub, go to the pull request.

2. Under Add a comment, enter @atlassian /review as a new comment.

3. Select Comment to submit your comment.

Rovo Dev will now review the pull request and leave any suggestions or improvements as pull request comments. Refresh the pull request page and check the description to see updates on its progress.
