Windsurf: Devin Review Can Now Auto-Review a Pull Request From Its PR Card
WindsurfWindsurf's Devin web app now lets users switch on automatic pull request reviews directly from a session's PR card. Analyze reviews the PR and keeps reviewing it on every push, and Review PR can enable auto-review for one PR, for all of a user's PRs, or (for admins) for every PR in a repository. The review page also says which commit was last reviewed and offers to review again once or on every push.
Key Takeaways
- Auto-review can be enabled straight from the PR card, so developers no longer need to open review settings first.
- Analyze keeps reviewing on every push, while a one-time analysis stays available from the arrow next to the button.
- Review PR offers three scopes: this pull request, all of the user's pull requests, or, for admins, every pull request in the repository.
- The review page names the last reviewed commit, so it is clear when feedback is out of date.
- Out-of-date reviews can be refreshed once or on every push, whichever fits the team's workflow.
- The change lowers the friction of continuous AI code review, since opting in happens where the PR is already being viewed.
Automatic reviews without a trip to settings
Windsurf's Devin web app moved the controls for automatic code review onto the pull request card that appears in a session. Before this change, turning on automatic reviews meant going into review settings. Now the choice sits next to the PR it affects.
On a session's PR card, the Analyze button now reviews the pull request and keeps reviewing it on every new push. A one-time analysis is still available from the arrow next to the button, for cases where a single pass is enough.
Turning on auto-review for a PR Devin has not reviewed
On a pull request that Devin Review has not looked at yet, the Review PR action lets the user decide how far the automatic behavior should reach. It can be enabled for just that PR, for all of the user's pull requests, or, for admins, for every pull request in the repository. This gives individual developers a quick opt-in without needing an administrator, while still letting admins roll it out repo-wide from the same place.
Clearer state when a review is out of date
Windsurf also improved the case where an earlier commit was reviewed but the latest one was not. The review page now states which commit was last reviewed and offers to review again, either once or on every push. That removes the guesswork about whether the feedback on screen still matches the code on the branch.
Why it matters
Automatic review only helps if it is easy to turn on at the moment a developer realizes they want it. Putting the toggle on the PR card, with scope options from a single PR up to a whole repository, makes continuous review a one-click decision. It also makes review status easier to trust, because the page shows exactly which commit was covered.
