Merge Request Details
Click on any merge request in the list to open its details panel. The panel contains the following tabs: Info, Changes, Comments, and Activity.
Changes
The Changes tab shows modified files in a tree view. Click a file to open a diff preview.
By default, the tab shows all changes in the merge request. Use the changes filter dropdown to narrow the diff:
| Filter | Description |
|---|---|
| Unreviewed changes | Changes since the last version you reviewed. |
| Compare versions | Compare two merge request versions to see only what changed between updates. |
| Single commit | Changes introduced by a single commit. |
Actions
The following actions are available from the details panel toolbar:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Approve | Approve the merge request. |
| Merge | Merge the merge request. Opens a dialog with options to delete the source branch and customize the merge commit message. |
| Close | Close the merge request without merging. Can be reopened later. |
| Checkout Branch | Check out the source branch locally. |
| Add Yourself | Add yourself as a reviewer or assignee. |
| Open in Browser | Open the merge request on GitLab. |
| Copy Link | Copy the merge request URL to the clipboard. |
Customizing the Layout
You can rearrange tabs by dragging them. Drag a tab to the edge of the panel to split it into a separate column — this lets you view, for example, Changes and Comments side by side. Up to three columns are supported in horizontal layout and two in vertical.
Your layout is saved automatically and persists across IDE restarts.
