Left hand sidebar redesign and save diff GIFs

A redesigned left hand sidebar, saveable diff GIFs, and more.

Left Hand Sidebar Redesign

We've heard you loud and clear, the left hand sidebar was in major need of TLC. We've focused on breaking down the sidebar into more easily understandable states, giving you more access to functionality from the thumbnail gallery, and better separation of concepts through tabs.

Individual diff approval and a better HTML diff viewer

Approve or reject diffs one at a time, an upgraded HTML diff viewer, and more.

This month we shipped some major improvements to make reviewing faster and more flexible.

Individual Diff Approval

No more rejecting entire test runs over one problematic diff. Right-click any thumbnail to approve, reject, or ignore individual diffs. When you push new code, we automatically highlight which diffs haven't changed so you can focus only on what's new.

Better HTML Diff Viewer

We've upgraded our underlying component for viewing HTML differences. You now get better syntax highlighting, smarter whitespace handling, and automatic collapsing of unchanged code sections allowing you to focus in your changes faster.
