# Determine where Qodo posts the PR summary

> Control where Qodo publishes the PR summary: as a standalone comment or in the native pull request description.

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

| Location | Behavior |
| - | - |
| **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 description** | The 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 location** | Qodo 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. |

## Configure the PR summary location

### Configure the PR summary location in the Qodo portal (Recommended)

1. Log in to the Qodo portal.
2. Navigate to **Configurations** > **Workflow** > **PR summary**.
3. Select an option under **Comment location**.

These settings apply to all connected repositories unless overridden at the repository level. For more information, see [Configure Qodo using the portal](/configuration/portal-configuration).

### Configure the PR summary location in .pr\_agent.toml

Set `publish_mode` in the `[qodo_describe_agent]` section of your `.pr_agent.toml`:

```toml theme={null}
[qodo_describe_agent]
publish_mode = "comment"
```

| Value | Location |
| - | - |
| `comment` (default) | Standalone comment |
| `pr_description` | Native PR description |
| `dynamic` | Dynamic location |

For more information, see [Configure using .pr\_agent.toml file](/configuration/configuration-file).
