No matter what I do, I cannot get revision history (for iterative reviews) to work properly. I add multiple revisions (shelvesets) to a review, and the historical revision slider does not appear anywhere. It's almost like the review can only be "aware" of a single revision, even if I've added multiple.

I had it working when I was doing a personal test while I had Review Assistant installed on my machine as workstation AND server (pointing to the same source control repository as it is now). However, ever since I installed it on a proper server on our network and changed my local machine to be just a client that points to that server instance of Review Assistant, revision history has NOT worked.

I looked at the database, and nothing is jumping out at me that would explain what's happening.

Everything else seems to work as you'd expect, though.

Please help, because the revision history feature is the #1 reason we went with this product.

Database: SQL Server 2016
Source Control: TFS 2013

Hi,

Thank you for reporting the problem. Review Assistant does not support iterative review for shelvesets. You can add only one shelveset to the review. However, you can post your suggestion at User Voice

I swear I had multiple shelveset revisions working with iterative reviews during my trial. Are you 100% sure it is not supported?

Yes. I am sure. Review Assistant does not support iterative review for the shelvesets.

Is there any way this can be implemented very quickly? It's definitely the difference between our company buying RA and not.

Same concern here, we want to implement a review check-in policy, but as it is currently the reviewer must always compare base and last versions, he cannot compare with last commented revision to only see the last increment, such a pain...

Do you plan to support it in a near future ? it will definitely impact the decision if we continue using your tool or not.

Hi. The iterative review for the shelvesets will be available in the next version. We plan to publish the developer preview version this or next week.

That is EXCELLENT news. Please let me know when it's been released in developer preview or officially.

We plan to publish the developer build this week

Please download the developer build at the following link devart.com/pub/reviewassistant_R101021.exe
Since it is a developer build, we recommend making a database dump.

Do you know when this is going to go out with an official release build?
