### Merge requests to close issues
If the merge request is being created to resolve an issue, you can add a note in the
description which will set it to [automatically close the issue](../issues/managing_issues.md#closing-issues-automatically)
when merged.
If the issue is [confidential](../issues/confidential_issues.md), you may want to

## View changes between file versions
The **Changes** tab at the bottom of a merge request shows the changes to files between branches or
commits. This view of changes to a file is also known as a **diff**. By default, the diff view
compares the file in the merge request branch and the file in the target branch.
The diff view includes the following:
- The file's name and path.
- The number of lines added and deleted.
- Buttons for the following options:
- Toggle comments for this file; useful for inline reviews.
- Edit the file in the merge request's branch.
- Show full file, in case you want to look at the changes in context with the rest of the file.
- View file at the current commit.
- Preview the changes with [Review Apps](../../../ci/review_apps/index.md).
- The changed lines, with the specific changes highlighted.

### Merge request diff file navigation
When reviewing changes in the **Changes** tab the diff can be navigated using
the file tree or file list. As you scroll through large diffs with many
changes, you can quickly jump to any changed file using the file tree or file
list.

### Incrementally expand merge request diffs
By default, the diff shows only the parts of a file which are changed.
To view more unchanged lines above or below a change click on the
**Expand up** or **Expand down** icons. You can also click on **Show all lines**
to expand the entire file.

If you click the **Hide whitespace changes** button, you can see the diff

specific commit page.
