Performance improvements and a higher file limit in this week’s update to the new pull request “Files changed” page public preview.

🚀 Single file view with increased file limits

To improve browser performance when viewing larger pull requests, we are experimenting with a new single file mode on the page. This new mode is automatically enabled when a pull request has a significant number of changes. Instead of presenting the changes for every file, only the changes for a single file at a time are shown.

To ease navigation between files, buttons on the toolbar let you jump to the next or previous file.

With this change we are also raising the file limit from 300 to 1,000 files! 🎉

Note: This change is rolling out more slowly than usual so we can make adjustments based on your feedback as more users are onboarded.
