What You See

Each table row includes:

  • PR ID and title
  • Author
  • Status: Active, At Risk, Stuck, or Draft
  • Checks status, with popover details
  • Repository
  • Reviewers
  • PR age

Staleness and Status

PR Pulse classifies recency from the last meaningful activity:

  • Active: less than 24 hours
  • At Risk: 24 to 72 hours
  • Stuck: more than 72 hours
  • Draft: the pull request is in draft state

Health Strip

At the top of the table, PR Pulse summarizes project-level recency as Fresh, Aging, and Critical counts.

Checks Visibility

The Checks column opens a popover with build and enabled policy-check outcomes and links back to the pull request in Azure DevOps.

Refresh and Paging

  • The manual refresh button reloads current data and clears the in-memory metadata caches.
  • Pagination supports 15, 25, or 50 rows per page for larger result sets.
