Browse and modify your settings using the web interface

To view or modify your repository settings using the CodeRabbit web interface:
1

Open Review settings

Visit the CodeRabbit web interface and open Reviews > Review settings in the sidebar.
2

Select repository

Select the repository whose settings you want to view or modify. You can also open its Review settings shortcut from Connected repositories.
3

Customize repository settings

If the Use organization settings toggle is on, turn it off to customize this repository’s settings.
If you leave the toggle on, CodeRabbit applies settings from the organization-configuration page to this repository
4

Modify settings

Browse and modify your settings. Click Apply changes when you are finished.
The settings page opens in Concise mode by default, which shows the most commonly used settings. Switch to All settings to access all options.

​
Settings view modes

When one repository is selected, the web interface provides three ways to view and edit its settings. To switch modes, use the View mode dropdown above the settings categories. All three modes read from the same underlying configuration, so changes persist when you switch between them.

​
Visual Modes

  • Concise (default): A curated subset of the most commonly changed settings, organized into categories like General, Reviews, Pre-merge checks, and Finishing touches.
  • All Settings: The complete list of every available setting. Switch to this mode if you need to access less common settings such as individual tool configurations, chat settings, knowledge base, code generation, and issue enrichment.
Use Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) to open the command palette and search for any setting across all modes.

​
Text Mode

  • YAML Editor: Direct YAML editing with syntax highlighting, real-time schema validation, and clipboard support. Only non-default values are shown. The YAML format matches .coderabbit.yaml for easy transfer between the web interface and repository files.
In YAML Editor mode, validation errors must be resolved before saving changes.

​
Preview

In Concise and All Settings modes, a live Preview panel appears on the right side of the settings page. This panel shows a mock PR review comment that visualizes how your settings affect the information CodeRabbit displays in pull request reviews.

  • Toggle the preview using the Preview button in the top-right corner. Preview is enabled by default.
  • Settings that affect the PR review output are tagged with Preview, so you can identify which settings have a visible impact.
  • When you change a setting with preview support, the preview panel automatically scrolls to the affected section and highlights the change.
The preview includes sections such as the PR summary, CodeRabbit-generated summary, walkthrough with changes table, sequence diagrams, pre-merge check results, and finishing touches.

​
PR Automations

Select one repository in Review settings, then open the PR Automations tab at the top of the page to manage Triage rules that apply to it, including shared rules. New rules start with that repository selected. Editing a shared rule affects every repository in its existing scope. Save rules using the rule editor’s controls; Apply changes saves review configuration.

​
Edit multiple repositories

In Review settings, use the repository checkboxes to select multiple repositories. Organization defaults opens a separate editor and clears the repository selection; it isn’t part of bulk edits. For text, numbers, and on/off settings, only fields you edit are overwritten in the selected repositories’ saved settings. Mixed values stay unchanged until you edit them. For lists, choose how to apply your entries: For example, adding a rule for src/** preserves each repository’s other path instructions. If a repository already has a src/** rule, Add rules keeps it; Update matching paths changes its instructions. For list edits, click Apply changes to review each repository’s before-and-after lists, then Confirm changes to save. Saving activates repository settings for repositories with changes. Previously saved repository values, including fields you didn’t edit, can then take effect in place of organization defaults. Configuration priority still applies, including repository files and global overrides.
