PURPOSE How to approve a merge request when review is complete. GENERAL STEPS Open GitLab in a supported browser, sign in with the correct work account, and navigate to the group, project, issue, merge request, branch, pipeline, notification, or file related to the task. VERIFY RESULTS Confirm that the project, issue, comment, branch, merge request, review, pipeline, file, label, or notification setting appears as expected before closing the task. TROUBLESHOOTING If GitLab behaves unexpectedly, refresh the page, confirm you are in the correct group or project, check your permissions, and capture any error message or access denial. BEST PRACTICE Do not publish secrets, passwords, tokens, private keys, customer data, or confidential information in projects, issues, comments, snippets, or merge requests.
