# Apply Review Feedback in GitLab
Handle review feedback on your merge requests — resolve discussions, apply suggestions, and respond to reviewers.
## View Review Comments
> "Show me all discussions on my MR !42 in `my-org/api`"
> "Are there unresolved threads on MR !42?"
```json [List discussions]
{
"action": "list",
"project_id": "my-org/api",
"merge_request_iid": "42",
"per_page": 50
}
```
## Reply to a Thread
> "Reply to the discussion about error handling on MR !42"
> "Thank the reviewer and explain why I chose this approach"
```json [Reply to thread]
{
"action": "reply",
"project_id": "my-org/api",
"merge_request_iid": "42",
"discussion_id": "abc123def456",
"body": "Good point! I've updated the error handling to cover the edge case you mentioned."
}
```
## Resolve Discussions
> "Resolve the discussion thread after addressing the feedback"
> "Mark the error handling thread as resolved"

## Workflow Tips
1. **Address all threads** — Don't leave unresolved discussions before requesting re-review
2. **Reply before resolving** — Explain what you changed so the reviewer can verify
3. **Batch suggestions** — Apply multiple suggestions in one commit to keep history clean
4. **Re-request review** — Update the MR to notify reviewers you're ready
## Next Steps
- [Review an MR](/prompts/code-review/review-mr) — Review someone else's code
- [Debug a Pipeline](/prompts/ci-cd/debug-failure) — Fix CI after pushing changes
