# Enable author self-review in pull requests
GitHub
Self-review acknowledgment allows PR authors to confirm they reviewed and addressed the findings generated by Qodo.
When enabled, a checkbox appears in the PR that the author can use to acknowledge the review results. Teams can also configure Qodo to add itself as a reviewer after the author confirms the self-review, allowing the PR to be merged.
## Why use self-review
Self-review helps teams:
* Ensure authors review Qodo findings before merging
* Add a lightweight confirmation step to the review workflow
* Allow Qodo to become a reviewer once the author confirms the review
## How to enable self-review
Self-review is configured in the `.pr_agent.toml` [configuration file](/code-review/get-started/configuration-overview/configuration-file).
### Enable the self-review checkbox
Add the following configuration:
```bash theme={null}
[review_agent]
demand_self_review = true
```
Default: `false`
When enabled, a checkbox appears in the PR. The author can select this checkbox to confirm they reviewed the findings.
### Add Qodo as a reviewer after self-review

```bash theme={null}
[review_agent]
approve_pr_on_self_review = true
```
Default: `false`
When enabled:
