Pull Request list accepted state

Question

Body

For a couple of weeks now the pull request list has not been showing the accepted status. I manage multiple projects that often have interconnected pull requests. I can no longer see at a glance that all linked pull requests have been accepted. I need to hover over each item to find out if it has been reviewed yet and if it is accepted.

Only the request change state shows up. I do not understand how removing useful information from the list is helpful to anyone.

Is there another way of doing this?

Thanks for your reply. I had thought of this "fix". Unfortunately that does not solve my problem. If I have 5 projects that have dependant Pull Requests that are in varying states of unreviewed, Change Requested and Accepted. I need to see the 5 Pull Requests in a single list to know if I can start merging them.

You're not imagining it — GitHub recently changed the Pull Request list UI.
The "Approved" checkmark no longer appears in the list view, and only
"Changes requested" is shown. There is currently no setting to bring the old
indicator back.

✅ Workarounds

1. Use PR search filters

You can still filter by review status using the search bar:

Show approved PRs

is:pr is:open review:approved

Show PRs with no review yet

is:pr is:open review:none

Show PRs with changes requested

is:pr is:open review:changes_requested

2. Try the new "table view" (if enabled on your account)

Some users can enable a column for review status:

Pull Requests → top-right → “Toggle table view”

If you don't see it, the feature hasn't been rolled out to your account yet.

3. Inside a PR, approval status still shows normally

The change only affects the list page—individual PR pages still show approvals
in the sidebar.

❌ Not possible right now

• You cannot restore the old approval icon in the list view.
• There is no UI toggle or setting to re-enable it.

Hopefully GitHub brings the visual indicator back, but these are the only
available options at the moment.
