Ignored PRs

Ignoring a PR gets it out of your way. You can get it back at any time.

When you view PR Details, you see a button that lets you ignore the PR.

When you press the Ignore button, the pull request goes into the Ignored PRs Dashboard.

This dashboard is a list of PRs that you’ve ignored.

You can access the Ignored PRs Dashboard by pressing the Ignored PRs button in the PR Focus sidebar.

Stop Ignoring a PR

At any time, you can stop ignoring a PR.

To stop ignoring a PR:

  1. Go into your Ignored PRs Dashboard.
  2. Find the PR you want to stop ignoring.
  3. Click into the PR Summary to open the PR Details view.
  4. Press the Stop Ignoring button.

This moves the PR out of your Ignored PRs Dashboard and into the Inbox.

If you want an ignored PR to move directly to your Watched PRs list, press the Watch button instead of the Stop Ignoring button. This automatically stops ignoring the PR and moves it directly to your Watched PRs list.

PR Not Moving to Ignored PRs

If you try to ignore a PR where you are an assignee, a reviewer, or where the PR is yours, it does not move into the Ignored PRs Dashboard. It stays in the relevant column in the Repository Dashboard and All Repositories Dashboard.

This is an intentional design decision to prevent you from missing important work that requires your attention.

PR Comes Back from Ignored PRs

If you have previously ignored a PR, but you later become an assignee or reviewer, the PR moves out of the Ignored PRs Dashboard and into the relevant column in the Repository Dashboard and All Repositories Dashboard.

This is an intentional design decision to prevent you from missing important work that requires your attention.
