Applying the fixes

The Reviewer provides the ability for you to select, browse and identify fixes to be accepted or rejected. The main purpose of this process is to be able to apply these fixes to the source code itself.

When reviewing fixes in the Accepted state, you may click on the Show Diff button to review the offered changes. The display is a bit different from the one shown earlier.

Since this is an Accepted fix, the options at the bottom of the window are different. The Undo button is there as before, but now the user has the option of changing their mind and rejecting the change. That will move it over to the Rejected state.

And there is an additional option on the right side of the window that is only available for fixes in the Accepted state. The Apply Fix button offers you the ability to insert the corrected code into the project itself. Clicking on Apply Fix instructs the Reviewer to create git specific commits to the temporary branch.

Also, at the top of the page shown above, there is a new button that appears at the top right of that window. That is the Apply All button which becomes active when any fixes are moved to the Accepted state. Clicking on this will tell the Reviewer to apply all of the fixes which are in the Accepted state. This is a quick way of applying all the currently accepted fixes in one step.

Once fixes have been applied, they are moved into the Fixed state. Once in the Fixed state, the fixes cannot be undone other than having a developer manually edit the code. It is exactly the same as if the developer had modified the code directly and committed them manually.
