Configure Display settings in the Qodo portal

The Display tab controls how findings and review comments are structured and presented in your pull requests: counters, labels, grouping, ordering, overflow behavior, resolved findings, per-finding content, comment structure, and notifications. Apply a display mode for a ready-made configuration, or configure each setting individually.

Use Search in the left navigation bar to quickly find the configuration you need.

Display modes

New customers who onboard after display modes are introduced in Qodo 2.9 get the default value for each setting. Existing customers keep their configured settings.

Display modes let you quickly configure how findings and review comments appear to your team in pull requests, without setting each Display option individually. Choose a display mode ranging from Lean, a low-noise review, to Robust, an information-rich one, or select Custom to configure each setting yourself. Changing any individual setting after selecting a display mode switches the selection to Custom.

Display modes are a different layer from review presets, which apply settings across every tab of the Configurations page, including the display mode above. Selecting a review preset sets this display mode for you. Changing the display mode here does not affect your review preset.

Robust	Every label and group visible, with color-scale badges.
Custom	Your own combination of settings.

Display live preview

GitHubGitLabAzure DevOps

The Live Preview pane shows a real-time visual of how review comments will appear in the target Git provider. Changes to display settings update the preview immediately, with no save or refresh required. The preview reflects the Git provider selected under By Git provider, or the Git provider of the selected Git organization or repository, and matches how findings will actually render for that provider. See Configuration levels. The top right of the preview includes:

A Summary / Inline dropdown that switches between the full review comment and the inline comment. It switches automatically when you change a setting that affects inline comments.
A light/dark mode toggle that switches the preview’s color scheme. Useful for checking how the review renders on providers that default to light mode.
