Feedback on moving merge request navigation tabs to the top
Objective
The aim of this issue is to gather feedback on the recent change of moving the merge request navigation tabs to the top, as explained in this blog post.
Any kind of feedback is welcome.
Background
Previously, merge request navigation tabs were located in the middle of the page, below the description and merge widget, which meant it could be in a different place from merge request to merge request. This has surfaced as sub-optimal in interviews with multiple customers, and in investigating #27600 (closed), #31300 (closed), and gitlab-foss#62536 (closed).
To provide more predictable and easy to find navigation within a merge request, and to provide greater focus in each area of the merge request, in #33813 (closed) we:
- Moved the merge request navigation tabs above the description and merge widget.
- Are now showing the description and merge widget in a new Overview tab (replacing the “Discussions” tab).
Since recent user testing of these changes was very positive, we decided to roll them out to all GitLab.com users. On self-managed instances, these changes are behind a feature flag that can be toggled on/off for all users — How can I disable these changes?
