Microsoft has answered a top community request by bringing pull request review capabilities directly into Visual Studio. Developers can now create, review, comment on, and approve pull requests without ever leaving their IDE. This integration eliminates the need to switch to a browser for code review tasks, reducing context switching and potentially speeding up the review cycle. The feature supports viewing code changes, adding inline comments, and completing the review process from within the familiar Visual Studio environment. For teams that use Visual Studio as their primary development tool, this can significantly streamline the code review workflow and improve developer productivity. The feature is available starting in 2024 and is expected to be a welcome addition for many development teams.
