Multi-line comment summary

Note: New parameters and response fields are available for developers to preview. During the preview period, these response fields may change without advance notice. Please see the blog post for full details.

Use the comfort-fade preview header and the line parameter to show multi-line comment-supported fields in the response.

If you use the comfort-fade preview header, your response will show:

For multi-line comments, values for start_line, original_start_line, start_side, line, original_line, and side.
For single-line comments, values for line, original_line, and side and a null value for start_line, original_start_line, and start_side.

If you don't use the comfort-fade preview header, multi-line and single-line comments will appear the same way in the response with a single position attribute. Your response will show:

For multi-line comments, the last line of the comment range for the position attribute.
For single-line comments, the diff-positioned way of referencing comments for the position attribute. For more information, see position in the input parameters table.

Reactions summary

Note: An additional reactions object in the review comment payload is currently available for developers to preview. During the preview period, the APIs may change without advance notice. Please see the blog post for full details.

To access the API you must provide a custom media type in the Accept header:

The reactions key will have the following payload where url can be used to construct the API location for listing and creating reactions.
