Settings that influence the review
Where to track
Track the review in the Ops dashboard. Use Audit Trail only for technical event details and diagnostics.Pause or resume reviews
In the repository detail page, a Workspace admin can pause reviews for maintenance, migration, or investigation. While paused, new changes do not follow the normal review flow. Resume when credentials, webhooks, and policies have been validated.Best practices
- Start with a few critical repositories and validate behavior before expanding.
- Document exceptions in the repository itself when they are specific to that codebase.
- Use branch rules to avoid reviews on mechanical merges or sync branches.
- Configure language and PM before first use in large teams.
- Use
Audit Trailonly when you need technical event details, diagnostics, or administrative audit context.
