How can I see review comments together with the resulting code changes?

Question

Body

The author made new code changes (in several commits) after I provided review comments on the old code changes. I would like to see in a single view the newest code changes and the (unresolved) review comments that spurred them, so I can most easily tell if and how the new code changes relate to the review comments, and can mark the comments as resolved if they have in fact been resolved. How can I arrange that?

In the "Conversations" view of the pull request I can see the review comments (most if not all of them marked as "Outdated") and the snippets of old code that they are associated with, but not the new code changes. In the "Files changed" view I can see before and after states related to the new code changes but then the review comments that led to the code changes aren't visible.

I can of course open two GitHub windows, one that shows the old comments and one that shows the new code changes, but then I have to manually find the corresponding items in both views, which is tedious and seems unnecessary because GitHub has all necessary information to perform that task for me and show the results in a single view.

Thank you for the quick response. Sorry, I don't recognize "commit > to comment". Is that for GitHub Desktop? I'm using GitHub via a web interface. I don't know by how much (if any) the web interface differs from the desktop application interface. I can copy a link to a conversation but then it is still me who's doing the work of figuring out where in the new code changes I should insert the link in a comment, and I suspect that following that link then leads me to the old code, so then I'm still not seeing the comment and the new code changes together. Or am I misunderstanding your suggestion?

Thank you for confirming that GitHub cannot simultaneously show code changes with the review comments that prompted those code changes. I'll mark that as the answer, but it isn't the answer I was hoping for. I'm very surprised about the lack of this feature; it seems very desirable to me, and it isn't obvious to me why it should be difficult to provide. One way in which it could be done is to display a three-way comparison, as is common for resolving merge conflicts. The "A" version could be the base commit of the previous review. The "B" version could be the last commit included in the previous review, which is equal to the base version of the latest changes. And the "C" version could be the most recent commit. The "A" and "B" versions could have the (unresolved) review comments in them, as in the "Conversations" view.

I've created https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/152465 for this. I don't know how else to post a feature request.

For four years ,i had been Questioning if my wife loved me as i felt so unloved- so much that i occasionally asked if she Was having an affair, I felt she was really avoiding me, however i had a gut feeling that something wasn’t right and began to question my own sanity and anxiety. our children wondered why she was going out so much and not spending time with me and with us as a family. Eventually I had to come online to search for a way to get into my wife’s phone without her finding out and I came. Through a hacker who did a great job for me, I was able to get into her phone within 3 hours and I got access to all social media text messages and her phone Conversations live and Permanently. It was so Hard and hurt brutally that my wife was a cheating one and it really affected me. If you find yourself in a Situation Like this, i Suggest you contact via, EMAIL
