However, we [didn't go beyond assignment](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/441689#note_1775054231 "[Design] Incorporate approval rules when assigning reviewers to a merge request") and back into the sidebar and state of the MR. It would be good as you're thinking about the review flow pieces, how we could surface "WHAT" a reviewer has been asked to review. There are levels to this from an author specifying which files they want focus on from a reviewer to using CODEOWNERS to automatically highlight files that match that reviewers assignment. <!-- Use this section to explain the feature and how it will work.
