How do I assign the issue to a teammate?

Last updated on Feb 19, 2026

Short Answer: Open the Assignee dropdown in the right-hand panel, pick a teammate (e.g., Bob Smith). You’ll see a confirmation toast and a new entry in History.

PreRequisites

  1. You must be signed in.

  2. You have permission to assign issues.

Steps

  1. In the right-hand panel, find Assignee (it may show Unassigned).

  2. Click the Assignee dropdown to view teammates.

  3. Select the teammate (e.g., Bob Smith).
    A toast appears: “Assigned to Bob Smith” and the Assignee field updates.

  4. Open the History section to confirm the assignment entry with timestamp and actor.

Troubleshooting

  1. Assignee dropdown is empty or disabled
    Likely Cause: Not signed in, missing permission, or the teammate doesn’t have access to the review.
    Action: Sign in, verify your role/permissions, or add the teammate via Share so they gain access, then try again.

  2. Assignment doesn’t appear in History
    Likely Cause: Save failed (network/server error).
    Action: Refresh the page and retry; if it persists, report the error to your admin.

Note: Successful assignment always shows a confirmation toast and a corresponding History entry.
