How do I select specific files to include in the review?

Short Answer: On Select files to review use the Pick my own files selector, the Search files... field, or the file-tree checkboxes to pick files, then click Run code review.

PreRequisites

1. You have selected a Pull request or branch so files are available

2. Connected GitHub account with repo access

Steps

1. On the Select files to review page locate Choose files to review.
   You see the file chooser area and a Search files... field or a mode dropdown (for example Pick my own files).

2. Open the file selector mode (e.g., Pick my own files) and use Search files... to filter by filename if needed.
   Matching files and folders appear in the file list.

3. Expand folders with the caret and toggle checkboxes next to files or folders to include them in the review.
   Checked files are selected; the summary line updates with the number of files selected.

4. Confirm the selection by checking the summary line (for example '3 files').
   Summary reflects current selection and estimated cost.

5. Click Run code review to start the review for the selected files.
   Review starts, or a Low balance modal appears if you lack credits.

Troubleshooting

1. The file list shows a spinner and never finishes loading.
   LikelyCause: Fetching files from GitHub is delayed due to network/GitHub API or permission issues.
   Action: Wait a moment, refresh the page, or reconnect GitHub. Confirm you have repository access.

2. Some checkboxes are disabled or files cannot be selected.
   LikelyCause: The file type is not supported for review or the file is already in review.
   Action: Hover the status icon to see the tooltip and exclude unsupported files or wait for the in-progress review to complete.

Note: Only selected files will be included in the review; use search and folder checkboxes to efficiently include or exclude files.
