Summary
The web editor's publish menu now surfaces a richer review panel for open pull requests. It displays the title, description, source and target branches, file count, and the approval requirement on the deployment branch (standard approval, code owner, or the provider's default review). Reviewers with permission can also approve open GitHub pull requests directly from the editor with a new Approve pull request action—removing the need to switch to GitHub for routine approvals. GitLab merge requests and draft pull requests still need to be approved in the Git provider.

Low Risk

Overview
Documents the publish menu’s richer pull request review panel, including surfaced PR metadata (title/description/draft status, branches, changed file count, and deployment-branch approval requirements) and updated review-status wording.
Adds guidance for approving GitHub pull requests directly in the editor via an Approve pull request action (with noted exclusions like drafts and GitLab), and updates the external link CTA to Open in GitHub/GitLab.
