== New Review UI vs. Old Review UI
There are some important conceptual differences between the old and
new review UIs:
- The old change screen directly shows all patch sets of the change.
With the new change screen only a single patch set is displayed;
users can switch between the patch sets by choosing another patch
set from the link:#patch-sets[Patch Sets] drop down panel in the
screen header.
- On the old side-by-side diff screen, new comments are inserted by
double-clicking on a line. With the new side-by-side diff screen
double-click is used to select a word for commenting on it; there
are link:#add-inline-comment[several ways to insert new comments],
e.g. by selecting a code block and clicking on the popup comment
icon.
Limitations of the new review UI:
- The new side-by-side diff screen cannot render images.
Users preferring the old review UI can link:#old-change-screen[
configure the change view] in their preferences.
