Submit a review
Post drafted line comments and an overall decision to the pull request through the GitHub API — without leaving the overlay.
This path requires GitHub connected. Generating and walking a plan does not — see Your first review and the FAQ.
The model never submits for you (FAQ).
Before you submit
- Finish walking the plan and draft any line comments you want included.
- Confirm you’re signed into the extension with an account that can review that PR (collaborator / required reviewers, org SSO if applicable).
- Remember: you still have the final say. The model ordered the walkthrough; the approve / request-changes decision is yours.
Open Submit review
- Press
⌘/Ctrl+Enterfrom navigate or comment mode (not while typing in the composer — there it saves the draft). See Keyboard shortcuts. - Or use the Submit review control in the overlay.
If GitHub isn’t connected, the Connect GitHub modal opens first. Complete device OAuth, then submit again.
Choose a review type
The dialog mirrors GitHub’s review events:
| Type | Effect |
|---|---|
| Comment | General feedback — no approve / request-changes. Summary optional. |
| Approve | Approve the PR for merge. Summary optional. |
| Request Changes | Block merge until addressed (per repo rules). Summary required. |
Use ↑ / ↓ to highlight a type and Enter to continue, or click.
Summary and send
- Optionally write a top-level review summary (required for Request Changes).
- Press
⌘/Ctrl+Enteror click submit. - The extension posts the review and all current drafts as line comments via your stored token. What leaves the browser: Privacy & data.
Errors from GitHub (permissions, expired token, stale line anchors, SSO) surface in the modal with a short next step — see Troubleshooting → GitHub connect and submit and Private repos and SSO.
After submit
On success:
- Drafts for that submission are cleared.
- A short confirmation appears;
EnterorEscdismisses it and closes the guided review (shortcuts). - You’re returned toward the PR conversation view so you can see the review on GitHub.
You can start Guided Review again later if the PR gains new commits; that builds a new plan for the current diff. Session storage limits: Troubleshooting.
Note. Guided Review never auto-approves. Submit only runs when you confirm the dialog.
