Reviews
When a change can't land on its own, Fyle keeps it as a branch and a person decides: keep the current version, take the change, or keep both. Rules decide who reviews what.
Last updated
When a change needs review
- It was based on an older version. Someone saved a newer one meanwhile, so applying it would overwrite their work.
- A policy says so. For example, an agent editing a file a person owns (Policies → Agents).
A save with exactly the same content as the current version needs no review: it's already there.
Deciding
Open Reviews in the dashboard. Each review shows who made the change (and which agent session), why it's waiting, and the current version against the change: a line diff for text, side by side for images.
- Take the change
- It becomes the current version. Refused if the file changed again after you opened the review, so you never overwrite something you didn't see.
- Keep both
- The change is saved as a copy next to the file, named like
report (branch v4).pdf. - Keep current
- Nothing changes; the branch stays in the file's history.
Decisions are final and recorded with your name and an optional note. From a terminal: fyle review ls, fyle review diff ID, fyle review decide ID take.
Who reviews: review rules
Each workspace has Review rules (next to Files and Trash). The first rule that matches the changed file's path decides; with no match, owners and admins review.
| Path | Changes from | When it matches |
|---|---|---|
renders/ | Agents | Ask the Art leads group |
**/*.psd | Agents and people | Ask Ana |
scratch/ | Agents and people | Take the newest change automatically |
Paths start at the workspace root: renders/ is the folder and everything in it, * is any name, ** any depth. Use Test a path to check which rule applies. Automatic rules (take the newest change, or keep the current version) decide at once; every version stays in history.
Notifications
Reviewers get an email with a link to the review, and a reminder if it's still waiting after a day. Owners and admins can change a review's reviewers; people added get the email.
