#Clearing your review queue

You want one screen holding every merge request that waits on your review, across every project on the instance, with the oldest at the top. Home shows that set on launch, and two filters plus a pin turn it into a tab you keep.

▍recipe-review-queue120×32

recipe-review-queueA recording of a review queue being built. labdash opens on Home with the Review requested group at the top, holding fourteen rows drawn from eight projects. Pressing f opens the filter bar; draft:false is typed, the completion list narrows to the two valid values, and four draft rows leave the table. Pressing f again adds sort:updated-asc and the order reverses, putting a merge request that has waited six days at the top. Nine rows remain, each showing approvals, head pipeline status and a plain-language blocker such as needs 1, conflicts or ci failed. Pressing P opens the pin prompt with a name already filled in, the name is accepted, and a new tab appears beside the built-in ones.

#Steps

Step	Key	What it does
1	launch labdash	Review requested is the first group on Home, and it covers the whole instance
2	f then draft:false	Drops the drafts that name you as a reviewer
3	f then sort:updated-asc	Oldest first
4	P	Keeps the result as a tab

#The filters, and what each removes

draft:false removes the merge requests that name you as a reviewer while the author is still working on them. They are a large part of a busy queue, and none of them is a review request yet.

sort:updated-asc puts the oldest at the top. Newest-first sends the row that has waited three days to the bottom of the table, where it stays.

The blocker column answers the rest. ci failed and conflicts are the author's work, so a row disqualifies itself without being opened. See merge blockers.

#Row actions

#Variations

#Reviews you have yet to open

Add review:unreviewed. It separates "I have not looked at this" from "I asked for changes and it is the author's move".

#Only what is ready for you

conflicts:false status:mergeable,not-approved,discussions-not-resolved removes everything that is blocked on the author.

#Two tabs by age

Pin the queue, press f again, add updated < 3d, and pin that as a second tab. One tab holds what has been waiting a while, the other holds what arrived today.

#Approvals you owe as a code owner

b to your group, then approver:@me approved:false in the filter bar. Pin it.
