Branch reviews

To increase the quality of your application, you can create reviews of branch contents to improve branch quality by, for example, ensuring that the rules are guardrail-compliant. You can assign branch reviews to other users, use Pulse to collaborate on reviews, and close reviews after you have addressed any issues.

If you have a Default email account configured, you are notified when reviews are assigned to you and when reviews are closed. For more information, see Creating an email account in Dev Studio.

If Pulse notifications are configured, you can receive emails when a new comment is added or when a reply is posted to a new comment. For more information, see Configuring Pulse email notifications.

You can override the following when rules to allow merges when branches are unlocked or not reviewed:

• pyAllowMergeWhenNotReviewed: Override to disallow merges when branches have not been reviewed.
• pyAllowMergeWhenUnlocked: Override to disallow merges when branches are not locked.
