How do I assign the issue to a teammate?

Short Answer: Open the issue and use the 'Assignee' dropdown in the right panel to pick a user; a confirmation appears and the change is recorded in History.

Answer

PreRequisites

1. Be signed in.

2. The assignee must be a team member with access to the repo/review.

Steps

1. Open the issue page where the right panel is visible.
   The right panel shows fields including 'Assignee'.

2. Click the 'Assignee' dropdown (it shows 'Unassigned' when no one is assigned).
   The dropdown expands with available assignees.

3. Select the teammate you want to assign.
   The 'Assignee' field updates to the selected person.

4. Look for the on-screen confirmation (toast) and check 'History' for the assignment event.
   A toast like 'Assigned to Bob Smith' appears and History logs the assignment.

Troubleshooting

1. The teammate does not appear in the Assignee list.

   Likely Cause: They may not have access to the repository or the review.

   Action: Ask your team admin to grant repo/review access so the teammate appears in the assignee dropdown.

2. The Assignee dropdown is unresponsive.

   Likely Cause: You’re not signed in, or browser extensions are blocking site scripts.

   Action: Sign in (see screen_6.png) and/or disable script-blocking extensions, then reload the page.

Note: A History entry is created whenever an assignment is made, visible in the 'History' card on the issue page.
