    File attachment demo

    Review Request #1 — Created Aug. 17, 2026 and updated

    Information

    Reviewers

    Review Board supports attaching and reviewing arbitrary files.

    Any file can be attached. Source code outside a repository, test data,
    logs, images, PDFs, Word documents, zip files, binary blobs, whatever.

    Review UIs

    Some types of files have special review UIs, such as Markdown files
    and images. They'll also be shown with thumbnails previewing the file.

    Using Power Pack, PDF documents can be reviewed and even diffed.

    Custom-built extensions can provide new review UIs for the specific files
    you need to work with.

    Reviewing file attachments

    For files that can be reviewed within Review Board, simply click the
    thumbnail. Or hover and click Review. You'll be able to leave
    comments right on the file, whether text, image, or PDF.

    For files Review Board can't display, hover over the thumbnail and
    click Download to download the file, or Comment to leave a comment.

    Clicked on every one of the files.
