What do the 'Severity' and 'Issue summary' columns show?

Last updated on Jan 08, 2026

Short Answer: 'Issue summary' gives a short description of the finding; 'Severity' shows colored tags that indicate the importance of the issue.

PreRequisites

  1. Have at least one review listed in 'Pull requests' or 'Manual file reviews'

Steps

  1. Open a review in 'Pull requests' or 'Manual file reviews'.
    The table shows 'Issue summary' and colored tags in the 'Severity' column.

  2. Click 'View details' for a review to see full context for an issue.
    Detailed information about each issue is visible in the 'Files reviewed' modal.

Troubleshooting

  1. I don't understand what a severity tag represents.
    LikelyCause: Severity tags are summary labels; details live in the file-level view.
    Action: Open 'View details' for that row to read the full finding and recommended action.

Note: Severity is represented as colored tags in the table; full explanations are in the file details view.
