Per-PR exceptions
Letting a single pull request through a freeze with a reason, a time limit, and a record of who decided.
An exception lets one pull request through an active freeze without lifting it for everyone else. It requires a reason, it expires, and both the grant and the expiry land in the audit log with the actor who decided.
- Granted from the pull request itself, the dashboard, or the API.
- TTL presets of one hour, four hours, or until the freeze ends.
- Sticky keeps the exception when new commits land; strict revokes it. Set the policy per organization.
- Per-PR exceptions start at Team.
This page is expanding at launch with the approval workflow and the auditor’s view.
