[Subclipse, EGit, CVS] Files are opened in a compare editor which previews the changes as they were submitted for review. Diff comments are displayed as review annotations for each of the files and the full text will appear on hover.

Comments

New diffs are recorded as comments when they occur, and so are reviews. The number of inline comments is noted, as well as the general top and bottom comments and the 'Ship it' flag.

Actions

Review requests may be closed, reopened or give a quick Ship It! review, depending on the current status.

In the compare editor, comments may be added by right-clicking on a specific line and entering a comment. Comments are saved as drafts and need to be published afterwards.

In the task editor, reviews may be posted and/or discarded. The action affects all posted draft comments.
