<p class="MsoNormal">- I'm looking at the Discussion page for an MR (<a href="https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgitlab.haskell.org%2Fghc%2Fghc%2Fmerge_requests%2F74%23note_1904&data=02%7C01%7Csimonpj%40microsoft.com%7C728cbed6e44946c21bae08d6772e7477%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636827438744742026&sdata=7l4qk3zTl4HuE0NvT2W8kWbIILmqXYZf0Wjj5KTq%2FzE%3D&reserved=0">https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/merge_requests/74#note_1904</a>)
and I see a comment Simon made, beginning with "No, I am not!". I wanted a bit more context. So I click on the filename above the Discussion and am warped to the Changes view (<a href="https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgitlab.haskell.org%2Fghc%2Fghc%2Fmerge_requests%2F74%2Fdiffs%239f8e9eab0dc8b12ae9f92fbb76ddca15c817667a_1852_1853&data=02%7C01%7Csimonpj%40microsoft.com%7C728cbed6e44946c21bae08d6772e7477%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636827438744742026&sdata=eRJYkGGmP3rFPtxXGe3Lbe27YWeXnY9f1azHbtt0srw%3D&reserved=0">https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/merge_requests/74/diffs#9f8e9eab0dc8b12ae9f92fbb76ddca15c817667a_1852_1853</a>).

<p class="MsoNormal">- Simon recently posted a bunch of comments in response to a bunch of my comments. I have a thick stack of emails about each individual comment. But when I view the discussion page (<a href="https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgitlab.haskell.org%2Fghc%2Fghc%2Fmerge_requests%2F74&data=02%7C01%7Csimonpj%40microsoft.com%7C728cbed6e44946c21bae08d6772e7477%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636827438744752067&sdata=1OoWI%2FzgymMOnP8FI9AX%2Btv09ErmsQA%2FEmVK6gccHm4%3D&reserved=0">https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/merge_requests/74</a>),
I can find Simon's comments only buried in the Discussions that I started. There appears to be no way to glean, from the web page, what has happened since last I looked. Is there a way to see a "log" of activity on an MR? That way, in case I'm drowning in
email (common occurrence) and just want to get up to speed on a given MR, I can get an idea of what's gone on. Now, the thick stack of emails seems like the only way to do this.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Is there a way to get a timestamped list of what discussions are resolved? Sometimes it's nice to be able to check that the resolution was what I had hoped for.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- The Changes page has a table of contents on the left. This is useful sometimes. (In this way, GL beats Phab, where it was sometimes hard to find where a certain file is listed when in the middle of a review.) But is there a way to collapse
the ToC? Most of the time, I'm focused on the code itself, and the ToC drastically reduces the number of characters per line, when I view diffs side-by-side.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">PS: I well remember how phrustrated I was with Phab when that rolled out, and how I eventually came to appreciate it. I'm being more patient this time around. In retrospect my trouble was more with arcanist than with Phab itself. (Arcanist
and I never really got along... we just reached an unsteady truce, and I won't miss it.) I am happy to be using git as the tool now. But it's effortful to figure out efficient workflows in a new space, and I'm grateful for any help here. Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
