How do I start a code review?

To start a code review, choose one of the following approaches:

Important

If your Helix Server is configured as a commit-edge deployment, and your normal connection is to an edge server, Swarm refuses to start reviews for shelved changes that have not been promoted to the commit server.

Within Swarm, this means that the Request Review button does not appear for unpromoted shelved changes. Outside of Swarm, attempts to start reviews for unpromoted shelved changelists appear to do nothing. Ask your Helix Server administrator for assistance if you cannot start a review.

An administrator of the Helix Server can automatically promote shelved changes to the commit server by setting the configurable dm.shelve.promote to 1.

Once a review has started

Wait for someone else to review your code, or see How do I contribute comments or code changes to a code review? More review activities are available.
