Request a design review

This feature is only available on our Business and Enterprise plans. Upgrade your plan to use review requests.

How to request a design review

After you’ve committed your changes, you can request a design review of your Branch using Abstract. We also recommend holding a team-wide design review to align on which Branches should be merged to Master.

To request a design review:

1. Open the Abstract desktop app.
2. Select the Project that contains the Branch you’d like to be reviewed.
3. Select Branches from the left side pane.
4. Select your Branch you’d like to be reviewed.
   Note: You can only request a review for your own Branches.
5. Click REQUEST REVIEW in the top right corner.
   Alternatively, you can select Request Review from the Branch status dropdown menu.
6. Type in the names of your Project team member(s) you’d like to review your Branch.
7. Click REQUEST REVIEW.

Your Branch status will change to IN REVIEW.

2. Select the Project that contains the Branch you’d like to cancel the review for.
3. Select Branches from the left side pane.
4. Select the Branch you’d like to cancel the review for.
5. Change the Branch status to Work in Progress in the dropdown menu.
6. Select the OVERVIEW tab.
