Today we’re launching several exciting improvements to help you get more out of Korbit’s code reviews.

‍

First up, we’ve added a brand-new Review Summary, providing a quick, easy-to-read rollup of Korbit’s comments for your pull requests. Now, at a glance, you’ll get a high-level overview of all the feedback before digging into individual comments.

‍

‍

Each comment has also been revamped to include a Subject and a Description. Think of this as the “what” and the “why” for each piece of feedback. The Subject delivers a one-line action item, while the Description gives you more context, helping you understand not just what needs attention, but why it’s important. You can always chat with Korbit to gain further insights and even ask for the fix.

‍

‍

Additionally, we’ve introduced a Korbit Guide section. This allows you to see your current configuration and provides helpful insights on how to tailor Korbit to best fit your workflow. Whether it’s adjusting settings or maximizing the feedback you get, this guide will ensure you’re getting the most value from Korbit.

‍

‍

We’re looking forward to seeing how these updates improve your code review experience. As always, stay tuned for more updates and enhancements coming soon!

‍

Today we're launching the ability to see an automatically generated description for pull requests that highlights both the key changes being made from code changes, as well as the reason why those code changes are being added. These descriptions will be shown in the description field of your pull request - if your team is already in the habit of adding descriptions, the Korbit description will be appended to anything that is already in the description and the Korbit description is fully editable should you want to make any changes.

‍

‍

Lastly, this functionality can be toggled on or off inside of the settings page in the Korbit app:

‍

‍

We're looking forward to seeing how you use this functionality and the value that you gain from it. We will be shipping more functionality and quality of life improvements inside of Github in the near future, so stay tuned to this changelog to keep up to date!

On your dashboard, you'll now see a bar chart of the issues Korbit has found, broken down by category. This chart is filterable by repo, developer and date range. Clicking on each segment shows you a list of the issues with links to the specific comment in your code repository system.

We’ve introduced a bunch of new features in the console in recent days:

Apply severity filters per category

‍

We are constantly optimizing our backend algorithms to surface the most relevant issues for your team and your codebase. But now you have more fine-tuning controls to adjust the signal-to-noise ratio yourself. For each issue category, you can ask Korbit to show both major and minor severity issues or just majors or you can disable the category completely.

Recent issues in the console

In the Korbit console, you now have a list of the most recent Korbit issues with a link to each comment in your repository manager. You can filter these issues by repo, developer, severity and category.

Spark charts with historical comparisons

Now you can get a quick visual update on your team’s use of Korbit with spark charts that automatically calculate the change in your engagement metrics compared to the previous time period.

Filter by developer

You can also filter your engagement metrics by individual team member from the dropdown at the top of the dashboard.

‍

Today we’re excited to release an upgrade to the Korbit console. Key features include:

Clearer reporting

• New time series charts showing PRs and issues found by Korbit
• Filters by date and repository
  ‍

Simplified controls for when Korbit will comment

• By default, Korbit will comment on all PRs, but we will no longer comment on your draft PRs.
• If you wish to enable comments on drafts, there is an option in the Settings page.
• And, of course, GitHub users can ask Korbit for comments at any time using the /korbit-review command.
  ‍

More intuitive controls for category filters

• We’ve greatly simplified our issue categories to allow you to adjust the number of comments that appear in your reviews. Behind the scenes, we’re using smarter defaults and rules to remove duplicates and lower-value comments. And in the UI, you now have a cleaner set of category filters.
  ‍

Better management of Korbit-enabled workspaces and repositories

• Korbit can only comment on repos for which we’ve been granted access in your VCS. In the Settings page, we’ve made it easier to see which repositories have Korbit installed and we provide quick links to add/remove repositories.
  ‍

Updated help docs

• All this information (and more) is available in our updated help docs section.
