Triage

Triage reviews potential work before it becomes planned work.

What appears in triage

Triage contains potential work waiting for review: workspace items in In Review plus bugs and feature requests from connected apps. You may be listed as the reviewer, but triage is not an assignee queue for execution work.

Each triage item has a review workflow. The reviewer can comment, accept the item, decline it, mark it as a duplicate, or assign a different reviewer.

Triage a bug or feature request

Open the item and decide what should happen next. Accept it when it should move forward, decline it when it should not, mark it as a duplicate when it repeats existing work, or assign a reviewer when someone else should make the decision.

When you accept a feature request or bug that belongs with planned work, link it to the right initiative. For bugs, make sure the description has enough detail for the next person to investigate.

From the triage list, open any item to review the detail, comment, route the decision, or connect it to existing work.

Accepting a feature request or bug moves it forward as an initiative or bug. It appears in Backlog unless the reviewer chooses a different status or assignee during the decision. Declining closes it as cancelled. Marking it as duplicate closes it against the existing initiative or bug it repeats.

For the full decision model, including duplicates and retained visibility, see Triage Items.

For defect intake, pair triage with Bugs so reports have enough detail before planning.
