i’d like the steering the copilot feature actually let me steer the copilot. should pause and ask if it’s ok to change something that it didn’t create too…, not just delete

The improved pull request “Files Changed” experience looks like a meaningful upgrade for developers who spend a lot of time reviewing code. Small improvements like commenting on any line, saving draft comments, better file navigation, and fewer page reloads can make the review process much smoother and less frustrating.

It’s great to see platforms listening to user feedback and continuously improving collaboration tools. While exploring different online resources and communities, I also came across rockyspin casino.

Similarly, I miss having a sticky bar below the PR's title to have the "Conversation" tab/button visible without having to scroll bar to the top.

Alternatively, users could still do Cmd+Up to scroll up and then click on the tab, but doing so doesn't scroll if the focus is on the diff panel, so you need to click on the files sidebar or the page margins and then use the shortcut.

It's not a critical issue, but a little annoying.

I know exactly what you mean — the old sticky bar made it so much quicker to jump back to the Conversation tab. Right now the extra scrolling or focus-shifting adds friction, especially during long reviews. A persistent header or sticky navigation with the tabs always visible would be a nice quality-of-life improvement. Not critical, but definitely one of those small things that would make the workflow feel smoother.

this is not showing up for me, rather i am getting a comment option on the pr level, having it on a file level would really be great, current i open two split windows to check my older comments and the latest code.

this is happening for me too.

Some comments are showing up in file and some are not

where is the copilot here?

Hi @mohamedmagdysayed2040-prog, thanks for participating!

Unfortunately, we don’t currently have moderators for languages other than English. Until that changes, we need to ask that everyone use English here in the GitHub Community when posting to ensure discussions are adhering to our Code of Conduct.

We’ll be locking this post for now, but please feel encouraged to create a new discussion in English if you still need support.

remembering per-user and per-PR seems both obvious and would result in a significantly better experience.

Thanks for the feedback.

• We are planning to support seamless switching of "hide whitespace-only changes", but no timeline yet.
• We are also exploring the implications of making this a user-level preference so it would be remembered/applied consistently across all PRs. Do others have thoughts/opinions on this?

Would it be possible to set "Compact line height" as a user preference as well? I like the changes overall but much prefer the original setting.

"Hide whitespace-only changes" as a user-pref sounds good.
Regarding line spacing, currently, compact mode is an option but the default is to be "extra line height". I feel like "Compact line height" should be the default (to match the current experience, but also because the greater code density from compact mode is in my opinion likely to be more useful to more people when reviewing, compared to the accessibility-focused greater spacing).

Peer review comments are now very hard to find and finally after an hour of searching around I found the 💬 icon and when I clicked on the reply, it just barfed and took me to the Files Changed view without showing the review comments or their replies.

I don't suppose you have any update on this yet, do you? It's really tedious to have to remember to:

1. figure out which button reveals the menu
2. click the button
3. click the menu item
4. wait for the page to reload

Every Single Time I open a PR. Call me crazy, but it seems like there are an extremely small number of cases where one might not want this feature enabled by default. The mechanics of the feature itself seem so trivial, I'm sure Copilot could crank it out in 5 minutes. I hope to see some traction on this soon!

Any workarounds to obtain permanent urls?

@rtalexk which browser are you using? Clicking the line number should just highlight the line, not open the add comment flow.

I'm using Arc Browser, but this isn't happening anymore. 👀

It seems the comment urls are not working on the new experience if the PR is really big. The old UI still navigates to the comment correctly.

unfortunately it looks like pressing a to hide them doesn't work anymore.

When this feature comes back, it'd be nice if hiding the annotations also stopped them from being added to the clipboard when copying code.

Thanks for the feedback. We are planning to restore the ability to use a to hide annotations.

@willsmythe any update on when this is getting added?

In addition to using a to hide annotations, can we have a global (user) setting to hide annotations by default?
Having to tap a (which does not always work correctly, particularly for large diffs) for every PR in repos that overuse annotations (a distressingly common practice that makes review a painful chore) is irritating and we're still left with (often) dozens of files that now have no visible change because some irrelevant annotation happened to touch that unchanged file.

Are you not planning on adding this feature back anymore? Did you forget about it? Do you need help? If you need the code here is what I was able to do to add this feature from my browser console:

document.addEventListener('keydown', (e) => {
  if (e.key === 'a' || e.key === 'A') {
    document.querySelectorAll('.InlineMarkers-module__markersWrapper--Fw1hl').forEach(el => {
      el.style.display = el.style.display === 'none' ? '' : 'none';
    });
  }
});

Indeed, files below would also be consistent with GitHub's own repo tree view.

I see the value in being consistent with the repo’s tree view; nevertheless, having files listed first can have some interesting use cases. For example, if a PR includes a changelog file or a “manifest,” listing files first would make it one of the first (often the very first) files shown, which I think is nice when reviewing code. In my opinion, that would greatly help the review process. Just my two cents.

I recommend sorting the same way as git diff-tree, which is what I think the old view did.

Old view:

New view:

Most tools put the folders first but I wish the standard was files first.

The files in a folder typically describe its contents. For example READMEs, Changelogs, manifests, public functions/interfaces. The sub folders contain the implementation details. I would like to read those first when reviewing a PR (or writing code).

That lets me see if their description makes sense to someone who does not know the internal implementation details. Then I can drill into the sub folders that contain the described implementation to see if they match.

It also helps for languages, like golang, that have a vendor folder containing a copy of all dependencies. It would end up at the end of the PR which is perfect since I basically ignore it when doing a review. Right now I have to scroll past all the vendor files to get to the top level files. That can lead to them being missed.

This would mirror how the majority of developers view the code in their IDE

[Citation needed.]

I'd prefer the ordering stay the way it was. But developers are an opinionated bunch, so if this is going to change there should be a way to set preferences. Besides, there are also other options besides just alphabetical and alphabetical by folder that might be useful, such as eliminating the tree view altogether and just showing file paths or even just file names.

Should there be a separate thread for the "loading state" issue? I'm afraid this might be buried because the "comment on file" issue has been fixed.

This is still happening for me when selecting "Files owned by me". They don't load, and I am unable to review. Any known workaround?

Workaround I've just found, go back to old experience, then load again the new experience.

I like being able to filter comments by author, makes it much easier to navigate the reviews and attend to the requested changes or overall feedback.
I would love that too! But it currently doesn't work :(
The filter does nothing

We are rolling this out to users slowly, you should be able to see it soon 🎉

I'd prefer that this button stay since it's related to the PR and its changes.

Feature request: allow people who object to AI (and there are many of us) to turn it off, completely, without the risk of accidentally using it by some misclick or dark pattern.

Bug: This button is visible even if Copilot is fully disabled in user settings.

Asking Copilot to summarize the PR is important to my workflow, so I would like the Ask Copilot button to return to the Files Changed page as well. An alternative could be allowing non-main branch files to be attached to regular Copilot chat, since currently only files on the main branch for all repos can be attached.

Because my team is understaffed, I often have to review PRs that use languages, frameworks, or libraries I am not very familiar with.
For that reason, I rely heavily on "Ask Copilot about this file-diff" (the line-level Copilot actions).
Even if I can understand the overall design and structure, I do not know the fine-grained syntax or how specific library methods behave.

With the current "Files Changed" view, I can use "Ask Copilot about this file-diff" right away, but in the new view it takes 3 clicks.
If I use it 10 times in a single PR, that is 10 clicks vs. 30 clicks.
If I review 10 PRs, that becomes 100 clicks vs. 300 clicks.

For me, the version where I can use "Ask Copilot about this file-diff" with a single click is clearly better.

Thanks for the feedback. We'll address.

On the topic of emojis, I really liked that I could type e.g. :idea and it would suggest the 💡 emoji. It would be great if this functionality were preserved (or even expanded upon 🙏 )

Thanks for the feedback. Both are known issues we're tracking.

Indeed! I am also missing this functionality in the new view.

True, I use the "comment on this file" feature quite often and I switched to the old view just because it's missing on the new one 😿

How to hide alerts? I can toggle alerts by pressing "A" in old UI

This is very important for me.

Also switched back to the old UI because of this! I almost always open PRs from the email link, so this is a completely breaking bug for me.

I'm only seeing ONE.

One at a time. I have to open the directory sidebar and click on each file or click the next/prev file buttons.

Whoever did this should be fired.

to be fair, they are showing an explicit notice, so it seems rather intentional

to be fair, they are showing an explicit notice, so it seems rather intentional

In that case they should fire who made this decision

I agree with some of the previous comments. Seeing one file at a time is untenable when doing PR, I really need the option to see them all and scroll through for a seamless experience. There are many cases where a couple files may be related and it's useful to see them and flit between them.

👍 any of the above; missing being able to see what changed; I have to flip back to do the old experience to do it

Our release process heavily relies on the ability to click through to see the commit diff of submodules. Will be very sad to see this go.

I want to see that nice summary of changes for non-GitHub hosted submodules, too.

I would like to be able to see which commit I’m starting from and which one I’m going to in the changed submodules, as the old interface used to show.

I also want to see the submodule commitId change in the file preview, it is necessary for our code review

I believe i was able to reproduce this. See steps at: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/163932#discussioncomment-13915305

A certain order of the URL parameters triggers this bug. This works:
.../files?w=1&file-filters%5B%5D=.yml&file-filters%5B%5D=.tf

But if I put the hide-whitespace parameter after the file-filter parameters, it doesn't work:
.../files?file-filters%5B%5D=.yml&file-filters%5B%5D=.tf&w=1

The parameters are added to the URL in the order of selecting the options in the GUI. So, to avoid the bug, you need to show/hide whitespace, then apply file filters.

The old UI works as expected.

Same issue here on Win 11 + Edge 124. Worked after disabling “XYZ” flag. Thanks for the workaround!

It's amazing Solution that actually works. I applied the same solution on the Nawaz Sharif It city and results start coming.

Yeah this is especially painful when I want to view only files of a certain kind... I would like this dropdown to only close if I click outside of it.

Could you explain what you mean by "dockable on the left" and/or provide a screenshot? I ask because, for me, the file tree is always docked on the left and there is no way to undock it (but it can be hidden). Btw I'm not GitHub staff, just want to understand the issue in case I can be of any help.

hmm. might have been a browser glitch on my end.

Yesterday, I was unable to see the tree open/closed toggle button...

so I could only pop open the tree as a floating window above the code; today it's working fine.

in the gear on the top right there's an option to show / hide comments. also toggled by e IIRC, which is annoyingly easy to hit accidentally, and persists across page loads.
