Only show changes-since-last-review in PRs?

[Brandon LaCava]

When we used to use Bitbucket Server the PR interface would keep track of reviewed files, and if subsequent changes were pushed to the repo the PR interface would only show those new changes.

However, now that we use Bitbucket Cloud the PR interface always shows all changes, from all commits, regardless if previous changes have already been reviewed. This makes reviewing large PRs somewhat challenging. Is there a way to change the behavior so the PR interface only shows the changes since the last review?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, Bitbucket Cloud currently does not have an option to only show changes since the last review in the pull request interface. However, you can use the file tree in the right sidebar or the navigation buttons in the header to navigate between files of the pull request. Additionally, you can load files individually across all pull requests by selecting the "Individually" option under the "Load files" heading on the Global diff view settings dialog.

Hello @Brandon LaCava ,

Just adding to Riley's response, we currently have a feature request to implement the functionality of marking files as reviewed in Pull Requests : 

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-19679

And also to implement an interactive review process as in Bitbucket Server, where you could use the feature "Start Review" : 

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-21268

I would suggest you to add your vote on those feature requests since this helps both developers and product managers to understand the interest. Also, make sure you add yourself as a watcher in case you want to receive first-hand updates from those tickets. Please note that all features are implemented with this policy in mind.

Thank you, @Brandon LaCava !
