Local preview of automated code review results is supported before posting inline comments and consolidated summaries to GitHub. This allows you to check generated review outputs and structured checklists without immediately affecting the live PR.

Is automated code review suitable for large pull requests?

Automated code review is designed for small to mid-size pull requests, accelerating merge decisions and preserving review quality. Teams can automate repetitive reviews for these PRs, though very large diffs may exceed the phase-driven analysis scope.
