# Code reviews {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia

Team Development administrators can require that pushes undergo code review before
accepting pushes.

When code review is enabled, pushing a change to the parent instance triggers the code review
workflow. By default, users with the teamdev_code_reviewer role receive notifications to review
changes and can approve or reject changes. The Team Development Code Reviewers has the
teamdev_code_reviewer role.  
For each change, reviewers can see the following information.

* Which [remote
  instance](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/VjQfIU4ZVfIX_tcrJnRvwg "For each instance, define other instances in the hierarchy as remote instances.") the pushed change comes from.
* Who pushed the change to the parent.
* What the change is called.
* When the change was created.
* Which versions the change includes.

Reviewers must approve or reject a push from the Team Development application.  
While changes are being reviewed on the parent instance, a child instance cannot do the following activities involving the parent instance:

* Push changes to the parent instance.
* Pull changes from the parent instance.
* Reconcile changes with the parent instance.
* Change the parent instance to another instance.
* Delete the remote instance record for the parent instance.
