-## About pull request reviews
 
-After a pull request is opened, anyone with _read_ access can review and comment on the changes it proposes. You can also suggest specific changes to lines of code, which the author can apply directly from the pull request. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/reviewing-changes-in-pull-requests/reviewing-proposed-changes-in-a-pull-request).
+Pull request reviews are one of the primary ways people collaborate on {% data variables.product.github %}. Reviewers can comment on changes, suggest improvements, and approve or request changes before code is merged. This collaborative process enables teams to ensure code quality and share knowledge.

-Repository owners and collaborators can request a pull request review from a specific person. Organization members can also request a pull request review from a team with read access to the repository. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/requesting-a-pull-request-review). You can specify a subset of team members to be automatically assigned in the place of the whole team. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/organizations/organizing-members-into-teams/managing-code-review-settings-for-your-team).
+## Reviewing pull requests
 
-Reviews allow for discussion of proposed changes and help ensure that the changes meet the repository's contributing guidelines and other quality standards. You can define which individuals or teams own certain types or areas of code in a CODEOWNERS file. When a pull request modifies code that has a defined owner, that individual or team will automatically be requested as a reviewer. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/about-code-owners).
+Anyone with read access can review and comment on proposed changes. When submitting a review, choose one of three statuses:
 
-For an introduction to requesting and providing pull request reviews, see the [Review pull requests](https://github.com/skills/review-pull-requests) {% data variables.product.prodname_learning %} course.
+* **Comment**: Share feedback without approving or requesting changes.
+* **Approve**: Approve the changes for merging.
+* **Request changes**: Identify issues that must be fixed before merging.
 
-{% ifversion fpt or ghec %}You can schedule reminders for pull requests that need to be reviewed. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/organizations/organizing-members-into-teams/managing-scheduled-reminders-for-your-team).{% endif %}
+You can comment on specific lines, suggest changes for authors to apply directly, and discuss implementation approaches. Reviews appear in the conversation timeline and merge box. Mark conversation threads as resolved to track addressed feedback.
 
-A review has three possible statuses:
-* **Comment:** Submit general feedback without explicitly approving the changes or requesting additional changes.
-* **Approve:** Submit feedback and approve merging the changes proposed in the pull request.
-* **Request changes:** Submit feedback that must be addressed before the pull request can be merged.

-{% data reusables.pull_requests.re-request-review %}
+Repository owners and collaborators can request reviews from specific people or teams. When you define code owners in a CODEOWNERS file, they're automatically requested as reviewers when a pull request modifies their code. You can re-request reviews after making significant changes.

-> [!TIP]
-> If necessary, people with _admin_ or _write_ access to a repository can dismiss a pull request review. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/reviewing-changes-in-pull-requests/dismissing-a-pull-request-review).
+Repository administrators can require approvals before pull requests are merged, ensuring code quality and preventing accidental merges.

 Anyone watching the pull request or repository will receive a notification of your comments. Batching your comments avoids multiple notifications being sent. {% ifversion copilot %}If you are commenting on a pull request created by {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}, batching your comments prevents {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} from starting to work on individual comments before you have completed your review.

+### Resolving conversations
+
+You can resolve a conversation in a pull request if you opened the pull request or if you have write access to the repository where the pull request was opened.
+
+To indicate that a conversation on the **Files changed** tab is complete, click **Resolve conversation**.
+
+The entire conversation will be collapsed and marked as resolved, making it easier to find conversations that still need to be addressed.
+
+If the suggestion in a comment is out of your pull request's scope, you can open a new issue that tracks the feedback and links back to the original comment. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/creating-an-issue#creating-an-issue-from-a-comment).
+
+#### Discovering and navigating conversations
+
+You can discover and navigate to all the conversations in your pull request using the **Conversations** menu that's shown at the top of the **Files Changed** tab.
+
+From this view, you can see which conversations are unresolved, resolved, and outdated. This makes it easy to discover and resolve conversations.
