Connect an observation to a repository file
- Permalink
- Recover the examined content.
- Precise locator
- Point to a line or heading.
- Open the relevant file in the repository.
- Use Copy Permalink and check the identified version.
- Attach a relevant line or heading to your note.
Fictional example: a team checks instructions in a README file. Lila keeps its permalink and section heading at the time of review. Her note distinguishes the observed text from instructions later revised on the main branch.
Your useful record: Project, file version, locator and observation date.
Repository access restrictions still apply to a permalink.

Review a merge request in context
A merge request brings together proposed changes, discussion and code differences. Identify its source and target branches. Project checks and review comments provide context that a final file alone cannot supply.
- Comparison
- Read the differences against the target branch.
- Discussion
- Identify unresolved requests for changes.
- Traceability
- Retain the merge request link and reviewed commit.
- Repository permalink
- GitLab offers permalinks to files, directories and code passages.
