When a developer or coding agent opens a pull request, they typically provide a description. The PR summary from Qodo and the native pull request description provided by the user can be combined into a single comment or kept separate. By default, Qodo posts the PR summary as a standalone comment and does not modify the native pull request description. You can change this setting from the portal or in your .pr_agent.toml file.

​
Determine the location of the PR summary

LocationBehavior
Standalone comment (default)The PR summary from Qodo is published as a standalone comment, separate from the user’s native pull request description, which stays unchanged.
Native PR descriptionThe PR summary from Qodo and the user’s description are merged into a single comment with a separator. The combined comment is posted where the pull request description typically appears natively.
Dynamic locationQodo selects the best location for the PR summary automatically. If the user doesn’t provide a pull request description, the PR summary is posted in the native location; otherwise it is posted as a standalone comment.

​
Set the location using the Qodo portal

Go to Configurations > Code review > Comment location and select an option. These settings apply to all connected repositories unless overridden at the repository level. See Portal configuration.

​
Set the location using .pr_agent.toml
