Why do I see 'No files available for this repo/PR under the selected filter'?

Last updated on Jan 08, 2026

Short Answer: That message means the chosen PR/branch and filter returned no files. Try a different PR, change the file filter/mode, or verify the PR has changed files.

PreRequisites

  1. You are on the Select files to review page

  2. A Pull request or branch was selected previously

Steps

  1. Confirm the correct Pull request or branch is selected on the previous screen.
    The selected PR/branch matches the one you expect to review.

  2. Switch file selection mode (for example use Review branch / files or Pick my own files) or try another PR.
    A different file list appears or files populate.

  3. If files still do not appear, check the repository on GitHub to confirm the PR contains changed files.
    You determine whether the PR has files to review.

Troubleshooting

  1. Message persists after switching PRs.
    LikelyCause: The selected filter excludes available files or repository access is missing.
    Action: Change filters/mode, reconnect GitHub, or ensure your GitHub account has repository access.

Note: The on-screen message explicitly suggests trying another filter or PR.
