How to batch GitHub PR post-review comments notifications?

Question

When reviewing PR on GitHub, the is a brilliant option for reviewer to add multiple comments as pending, and then submit them to the author as a review with one notification.

Each comment has it’s own option Reply and Resolve Conversation. E.g. if review has 10 comments, and author wants to reply for 9 of them ‘updated in commit 12345’, reviewer will receive notifications for each of them, which can be quite annoying.

Is it possible to make pending such post-review comments and submit them as a single notification?

If not, I will submit a feature request to GitHub.

Answer 1

I found existing GitHub Feature request: writing PR comments in batch #1276

and posted a workaround

The problem you described is correct if an author is using main “conversation” tab to reply to each reviewer’s comment. As a workaround author can switch to “Files changed” tab, and there is an option to keep all comments as “pending” and then submit all of them at once(simulating review of own PR)

It’s definitely not intuitive, and I would appreciate if GitHub will implement it properly for “conversation” tab
