Comment on rendered Markdown in Azure DevOps PRs with inline threads, Changes, Outline, and keyboard navigation. 🆕 What's new — v1.1.0 (2026-09-15) • Start rendered Markdown review from any pull request Files page with the new Open Markdown Preview action. • Changes, Threads, and Outline stay responsive when switching files. When moving directly to another pull request, the extension refreshes the page once to load that pull request's review data. • Opening Preview no longer jumps to an unrelated changed file whose name resembles the Preview option. v1.0.0 (2026-08-28) • Review rendered Markdown directly: comment on paragraphs, headings, lists, tables, and individual code-block lines without leaving Preview. • Navigate every Markdown change, thread, and heading across the pull request from one keyboard-friendly sidebar. • Reply, resolve, reopen, edit, and delete review comments inline; light, dark, and high-contrast themes are supported. 📌 Just installed? Hard-refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R / Cmd+Shift+R) any Azure DevOps pull request tab that was already open when you clicked Add to Chrome. New tabs work automatically. — Azure DevOps Preview makes Markdown design documents, plans, READMEs, and ADRs easy to read—but reviewing them still means switching back to source diff to find the right line and conversation. This extension turns Preview into a complete rendered-document review surface. What it does: • Start from any pull request Files page: the sidebar appears immediately and can open an available changed Markdown file in Preview for you. • Hover a paragraph, heading, list item, table row, or code block and click the blue “+” to create a real Azure DevOps pull request comment on the matching source line. • Drag between rendered blocks to comment on a multi-line range. Inside fenced code, move the “+” to target an individual source line. • See existing review conversations beside the rendered section they belong to. Expand a thread to reply, resolve or reopen it, and edit or delete your own comments. • Write in Markdown with formatting controls, Write/Preview tabs, automatic textarea growth, and Cmd/Ctrl+Enter submission. • Changes tab: scan changed Markdown sections across every file in the pull request. New, deleted, and renamed files receive clear summaries; click a card or use keyboard shortcuts to navigate while remaining in Preview. • Threads tab: see all review threads in stable Azure DevOps file-tree order, filter to unresolved conversations, and jump directly to a thread in another file. • Outline tab: browse headings from every changed Markdown file, see section thread counts, jump across files, fold individual sections, or bulk-fold H1/H2/H3 sections. • Header icons jump to the first change or thread in the current file. Counters such as “2/4 (11)” show current-file progress and the pull-request total. • Keyboard workflow: 1/2/3 switch tabs; b opens Outline; t toggles the sidebar; Shift+T resets it; j/k/h/l navigate threads; [ ] { } navigate changes. • The interface follows Azure DevOps light, dark, and Windows high-contrast themes without closing drafts or resetting navigation.
