# Working with Pull Requests

Once you've selected repositories to track, all their open pull requests appear in the Ridge Sight dashboard. This article covers everything you can do with PRs.

## The PR List

The main area of the dashboard shows a list of PR cards. Each card displays at a glance:

---

## Expanding a PR

Click any PR card to expand it and see:

• - Full PR description (rendered Markdown)
• - Branch info — Head and base branch names
• - Detailed CI and review status
• - Conflict file details (Premium)
• - Copilot review comments (Premium)
• - PR timeline — Events like commits, reviews, and comments
• - AI Insights — Risk analysis button (Premium)

Free plan: PR expansion is limited to 5 per hour. Premium users have unlimited expansions.

---

## Dashboard Tabs

The dashboard has several tabs for different views:

---

## Saving a PR

Save a PR to bookmark it for later review:

1. - Click the bookmark icon (🔖) on any PR card.
2. - The PR appears in your Saved tab.
3. - To unsave, click the bookmark icon again.

Saved PRs persist across sessions — they're stored in your account, not just your browser.

Free plan: Up to 10 saved PRs. Premium users have unlimited saves.

---

## Dismissing a PR

Dismiss a PR to hide it from your main view:

1. - Click the X button on any PR card.
2. - The PR is removed from your active list.
3. - You can restore dismissed PRs from the confirmation dialog.

Dismissed PRs are retained for 30 days (Free) or 90 days (Premium), then permanently removed.

---

## Merging a PR (Premium)

Premium users can merge pull requests directly from Ridge Sight:

1. - Expand a PR card.
2. - Click the Merge button.
3. - Choose a merge method:
   • - Merge commit — Creates a merge commit
   • - Squash and merge — Squashes all commits into one
   • - Rebase and merge — Rebases commits onto the base branch
4. - Optionally customize the commit title and message.
5. - Confirm the merge.

Merge is only available when the PR has no conflicts and CI checks are passing.

---

## Commenting on a PR (Premium)

Premium users can leave comments directly from the dashboard:

1. - Expand a PR card.
2. - Type your comment in the comment box.
3. - Click Submit.

Comments are posted to the PR on GitHub — they'll appear just like any other GitHub comment.

---

## Approving a PR (Premium)

Premium users can submit approving reviews:

1. - Expand a PR card.
2. - Click Approve.

The approval is submitted as a GitHub review and is visible on the PR page on GitHub.

---

## Marking a Draft PR as Ready for Review

If you authored a draft PR, you can mark it as ready for review:

1. - Expand the draft PR.
2. - Click Ready for Review.
3. - The PR's draft status is removed on GitHub.

---

## Filtering Pull Requests

Use the filter controls above the PR list to narrow down what you see:

### Sorting

You can sort the PR list by:

• - Last updated (default)
• - Date created
• - Priority — A calculated score based on CI status, conflicts, and review state
• - Risk — AI-generated risk score (Premium, requires AI Insights)

### Filter Presets

Save your frequently used filter combinations as presets:

1. - Set your desired filters.
2. - Click Save Preset.
3. - Give it a name.
4. - Access it later from the presets dropdown.

### Shared Views

Share a filtered view with your team:

1. - Set your filters.
2. - Click Share View.
3. - Name the view and share the generated link.

Team members with access can load the same filtered view.

---

## Work Items (Premium)

Track the status of PRs as they move through your review pipeline:

1. - Expand a PR card.
2. - Set a work item status: Claimed, In Progress, or Done.
3. - Work item status is visible to your team and persists across sessions.

This helps teams coordinate who is handling which PR without leaving Ridge Sight.

---

## Bulk Actions

Select multiple PRs for batch operations:

1. - Use the checkboxes on PR cards to select multiple PRs.
2. - Choose a bulk action (e.g., Save all, Dismiss all).

---

## Auto-Refresh (Premium)

Premium users get automatic dashboard refresh — the PR list updates periodically without needing to manually reload. The last updated timestamp shows when data was last fetched.

Free users can manually refresh by clicking the Refresh button.

---

## Viewing on GitHub

Every PR card includes a direct link to view the PR on GitHub. Click the external link icon (↗) to open the PR in a new tab.
