Every software system used at Gitlab

Yeah, this is definitely one of GitLab's weakest points at the moment and seriously impacts day-to-day work here as well. Simple features like ticking off files you've already reviewed are missing and even mid-sized MRs are a pain to review even on a beefy machine.

Hi! I'm an Engineering Manager at GitLab in Source Code team.

This is on our horizon. We have an Epic to track an overall revamp and adding an option to review file-by-file which will include developing something like what you just described.

Epic: https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/516

Issue for the checking of file seen (including the concept of "unread diffs"): https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/24629

If you could please add your thoughts in that issue, we could use that feedback while we develop the feature.

Thanks a bunch for caring and voicing your concerns. It helps us get better.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer! I hope my criticism didn't come off too strong, overall I love working with GitLab, the parent just struck a chord with one of my pain points. Glad to see you're working on it!

This feature already exists, I use it all the time.

In GitLab? Maybe we're using an outdated GitLab version here, but I can't find it. And it doesn't seem to be mentioned in the offical Reviewing documentation: https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/project/merge_requests/revie...

If you mean the "collapsing" feature, this is really not equivalent, since the state does not persist between multiple review sessions.

I don't have it either. I wish we could "check" things off. I also wish I had more ability to do settings "by group", rather than by project.
