As the number of open pull requests on your Pipeline grows, it can become harder to find the ones that need your attention. The filter menu on each Pipeline environment lets you narrow down your list of open PRs on a single environment, but if you need to see everything across your entire Pipeline at once, the Features view lets you do that.
Navigating between views
At the top of your Pipeline, you will now see three buttons that let you switch between different views:
Environments takes you to the Pipeline view you are already familiar with, where you can see each environment and manage pull requests on them individually.
Features opens a view that shows all of your open pull requests across every environment in your Pipeline in a single list. This is what this article covers.
Performance takes you to the DevOps performance dashboard, where you can track DORA metrics like deployment frequency and lead time for changes.
When to use the Features view
The Environments view works well when you are managing pull requests on a specific environment. The Features view is useful when you need to see open pull requests across your whole Pipeline in one place, for example to find PRs that are failing checks across multiple environments, or to see what a specific team member has in flight. It is also useful for individual contributors who want to filter down to just their own PRs.
Types of views
On the left-hand side of the Features view, there are a set of views that narrow down your list of pull requests. Each view shows a count of matching PRs.
Open features is the default view and shows all open pull requests on your Pipeline. This is the view that loads when you first open the Features tab.

Filtering your pull requests
Above the list of pull requests, there are filter options you can use to refine which pull requests are shown. These work alongside the default views, so you can combine them to narrow your results further.
Status
Filter by the current state of each pull request:
Needs attention shows pull requests that have failed their checks, such as merge conflicts or validation errors. These are the PRs that need your attention before they can be promoted.
Pending checks shows pull requests that are still waiting for their checks to complete.
Ready to promote shows pull requests where all checks have passed and the PR is good to go. These are the ones you can promote straight away.
Queued shows pull requests that are waiting in the queue for their validation to run.
User
Filter by the person who created the pull request. You can use this to see what a specific team member has in flight, or to isolate your own PRs without switching to the My features default view.
Age
Filter by how long the pull request has been open against its current environment. You can use this to find recent PRs or to track down stale ones.
Environment
Filter by a specific Pipeline environment. If you need to see all the pull requests waiting to get into a particular environment (for example, your UAT or Production environment) this filter lets you do that without switching back to the Environments view.
Combining filters
You can select multiple filters at once to narrow your results further. When a filter is applied, it appears as a badge below the filter bar so you can keep track of your active criteria. You can remove a filter by clicking the cross on its badge, or clear all filters at once.
Search
Alongside the filters, there is also a search bar that lets you search for a specific pull request by name or number. You can use search and filters together to quickly track down exactly the PR you are looking for.
Understanding the pull request list
Each pull request in the list shows the PR name and number, who opened it and when, and the environments it needs to pass through next. Each environment is shown as a badge with a status indicator so you can see whether a PR is clear to promote or if something needs resolving.
What's coming next
This is the first version of the Features view. Future updates will include a more detailed individual PR view and the ability to create and save your own custom views. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please reach out via our in-app chat.
