Instead of posting a new comment for every push, Qodo keeps a single review comment up to date across a pull request’s lifetime.
On this page, “persistent” refers only to the code review comment described in How persistent review comments are updated. It’s unrelated to the PR summary’s Standalone comment setting and to CI failure feedback’s own persistent_comment setting, since each applies to a different comment.

​
Why use persistent review comments

Persistent review comments help teams:
  • Keep pull request conversations clean
  • Track progress across commits more easily
  • Reduce noise during iterative reviews

​
How persistent review comments are updated

  • With every new commit, Qodo updates the existing review comment.
  • If a new issue is introduced in a new commit, it appears as an additional finding marked with a ⭐️ New label.
  • All findings are visible directly in the pull request code review.
  • Qodo also posts a “Code review by qodo was updated up to the latest commit” message in the pull request each time it updates the comment. To disable this, see Persistent comment notification below.
  • Qodo keeps a Previous reviews section in the comment, showing the history of past review runs. See Previous reviews for how to read it.

To enable this behavior, push-trigger handling must be enabled in your repository configuration. You can enable it from the Qodo portal or using the .pr_agent.toml file.
  1. Log in to the Qodo portal.
  2. Navigate to Configurations > Workflow > Code review.
  3. Configure Review every push.
  4. Navigate to Configurations > Display > Notification comments.
  5. Configure Persistent comment notification.
These settings apply to all connected repositories unless overridden at the repository level. For more information, see Configure Qodo using the portal.

Configure persistent review comments in .pr_agent.toml

Review every push

Add the following inside your relevant git provider section in .pr_agent.toml. Do not include this in multiple provider sections. Example (GitLab):
The portal’s Review every push toggle also sets review_agent.enable_incremental_review, which makes the re-run focus only on changes since the last review instead of reviewing the whole pull request again:

Set the following in the [review_agent] section:
