Visual review is hard to find / confused with review app

Problem to solve

As a product manager, I want to quickly launch a review app from the MR page, so I can review changes and leave feedback for my team async so they aren't disturbed by my comments.

From a GitLab PM "I always click on Review, before I remember I want the other button. I get this wrong every single time 🤦"

Intended users

Any user who can make use of review apps and/or visual reviews. Especially:

User experience goal

The user should be able to click a button and open a review app without guessing what they mean.

Let's take advantage of changing this experience to also make starting to use Visual Review tools easier. We know that users with muscle memory / ignore memory will get caught up on a visual change so let's take advantage of that by introducing an easier VRT experience at the same time to drive adoption.
