Microsoft is making it easier for developers to collaborate and improve code quality in Visual Studio. A new update enhances the way teams review pull requests, streamlining the feedback process for better efficiency. This improvement aims to create a more seamless and productive development experience.
Here’s what you need to know:
Inline Commenting: Reviewers can now add comments directly within the IDE, streamlining feedback without switching interfaces.
Feature Activation: Enable inline commenting via:
Tools > Options > Preview Features > Pull Request Comments
Tools > Options > Pull Request Add Comment
Accessing Comments: After checking out a pull request branch, select "Show comments in files" from the InfoBar or navigate via Git > ADO/GitHub > Show Comments.
Adding Comments: Click the "Add Comment" icon in the margin or right-click a line and choose Git > Add Comment.
Ongoing Improvements: Visual Studio continues refining pull request reviews based on user feedback for a better workflow.
