Review Details & Activity

CoLab reviews are built to include as much context as possible around the objective of the review, the people involved, and relevant dates. At the same time, reviews have a built-in activity feed that tracks important actions throughout the review as they happen (ie. edits to review details, feedback created during the review, etc.)

Details

Review description

A text field to include any & all relevant information related to the review. This can include information to help guide users heading into the review, but can also capture high-level outcomes & insights during or at the end of a review.

Review Owners

A user field that can include one or more users who “own” the review. This could be the senior engineer responsible for the part being reviewed or simply the team member who is in charge of making sure the review is completed.

Reviewers

A user field that can include one or more users who are expected to participate in the review. Reviewers have individual statuses to indicate their review progress.

Reviewer statuses:

Awaiting review - reviewers who have yet to start their review

In progress - reviewers who have started their review (ie. created feedback on the file under review)

Requested changes - reviewers who have submitted their review and requested changes

Approved - reviewers who have submitted their review and approved

Creator

A user field indicating the user who initially created the review.

Activity

The review activity tab shows a chronological list of review activities from the moment the review is created. This includes things like edits to review description, when a reviewer submits their review, when reviewers leave feedback, and when the review closes.
