Review Mode for VS Code

Review Mode is a powerful VS Code extension designed to bring enhanced collaboration and review tools directly into your editor, specifically tailored for Markdown files.

Features

  • Inline Threaded Annotations: Add, reply to, and resolve comments directly within your Markdown files. Keep all your feedback contextualized.
  • Revision Tracking: Automatically track revisions of your documents and see how comments evolve over time.
  • Visual Status Tracking: Quickly identify the status of comments using intuitive icons.
  • Review History UI: A dedicated Review Notes panel in the Explorer allows you to easily navigate through all annotations.
  • Customizable Priorities: Assign priorities to comments (e.g., Low, Medium, High) so you know what needs addressing first.

Usage

  1. Open any Markdown (.md) file.
  2. Run the Review Mode: Open File command from the Command Palette, or use the editor title menu icon.
  3. Once in Review Mode, a side webview panel will open, displaying the active thread.
  4. Click anywhere in the text editor to leave an annotation at the current cursor position.
  5. You can reply, delete, or resolve comments seamlessly from the webview.

Extension Details

  • Icon / Codicon Support: Uses built-in VS Code codicons for visually consistent feedback and interaction.
