# Review uncommitted changes

<Note>
  Qodo IDE plugin, formerly Qodo Gen, brings local code review workflows to JetBrains and VS Code as part of the Qodo Platform.
</Note>

**Review Uncommitted Changes** is your built-in assistant for validating code before it becomes part of a commit. It scans all uncommitted modifications in your working directory and provides a structured, context-aware analysis. The workflow helps you ensure clarity, consistency, and correctness before your changes move into version control.

## How it works

When you select `/review-uncommitted` workflow from the welcome screen, Qodo analyzes all uncommitted file changes and produces a detailed review that highlights what was changed and why.

**The workflow presents:**

* **Holistic review**: Aggregates all local file changes and summarizes them by scope and purpose.
* **Thematic walkthrough**: Groups modified files by topics such as *features*, *fixes*, *refactors*, and more, helping you review related changes together.
* **Intelligent insights**: Detects potential issues and classifies them into categories like *correctness*, *style*, *performance*, and *best practices*.
* **Instant fixes**: Apply suggestions directly with one click, no need to switch contexts or open multiple files.
* **Project alignment**: Ensures all agent-written and user-modified code aligns with your team’s conventions, style guides, and PR expectations.

### When to use this workflow

Use this workflow any time you want to validate local progress before committing. It is particularly useful when:

* You’ve made changes across multiple files.
* You want to validate agent-generated updates.
* You want to reduce PR review friction by addressing issues early.
