We've built a new hotbar for your favorite review actions! Customize the buttons you use the most when reviewing.

This is now available in the new RBCommons.com, and will be coming to Review Board 7.1 soon.
The review bar at the top, showing Add General Comment and Ship It actions. On the right is a menu showing the actions available to add (Create Review, Edit Review, Add General Comment, and Ship It).

If you're an admin reviewing code, we've made your experience a whole lot better.

Now you can switch between another user's published review request and their draft, helping you see what others see while letting you continue to modify or reassign review requests when needed.
Screenshot of a new banner for administrators under the Review menu saying "This review request has an unpublished draft" with a "View draft data" link.

Review Board 7 supports posting review request activity and discussions to Microsoft Teams, helping your teams follow along with development while they chat.
An example post on Microsoft Teams. It shows a review request with the summary "Add an integration for MS Teams." The description says "This adds the Microsoft Teams integration option. Like the existing Slack integration option, this integration will post a message to an MS Teams chat channel after a review request has been updated." There's information on the source code repository and branch, and a screenshot uploaded to the review request.

The Diff Viewer's been updated to work better on smaller screen sizes. It's easier than ever to review changes on your phone while on the go.

Image Review in the Diff Viewer lets you review bitmap and SVG images that are part of your commits.

You can even view the changes made between two images using the following modes:

* Two-Up (side-by-side)
* Color Difference
* Split Screen
* Transparency Onion Skin

Tip: Use Review Board's image and document review to review the other parts of your project. We'll even show you diffs of your PDF documents and presentations!
Review Board's PDF document review, showing a diff of two PowerPoint presentations and highlighting the text that changed. The presentation topic is "Writing Enterprise WebApps in Bourne Shell." Both state "Bourn Shell: Why Not?" with bullet points "It's on every system" and "It's memory-safe". They differ in the third bullet point. The left says "You definitely won't completely nuke your system unexpectedly." The right says "You might not completely nuke your system unexpectedly, maybe." The differences in wording is highlighted in red on the left, green on the right.
