Incremental Update 💎

Supported Git Platforms: GitHub, GitLab (Both cloud & server. For server: Version 17 and above)

Overview

The Incremental Update feature helps users focus on feedback for their newest changes, making large PRs more manageable.

How it works

=== "Update Option on Subsequent Commits" {width=512}

=== "Generation of Incremental Update" {width=512}

---

Whenever new commits are pushed following a recent code suggestions report for this PR, an Update button appears (as seen above).

Once the user clicks on the button:

• The improve tool identifies the new changes (the "delta")
• Provides suggestions on these recent changes
• Combines these suggestions with the overall PR feedback, prioritizing delta-related comments
• Marks delta-related comments with a textual indication followed by an asterisk (*) with a link to this page, so they can easily be identified

Benefits for Developers

• Focus on what matters: See feedback on newest code first
• Clearer organization: Comments on recent changes are clearly marked
• Better workflow: Address feedback more systematically, starting with recent changes
