Version 9 #
Version 9.1.0 • Released 2024-11-04
Workzone 9.1.0 adds a repository hook to optionally revoke pull request approvals on _any_ source branch commit, even if it was a rebase without code changes.
Additionally Workzone 9.1.0 features workflow optimizations: Contextual un-approve on pull request update. When a pull request is updated, only affected file/path reviewer approvals are revoked, not all approvals. Requires file/path reviewer configuration.
This version also fixes a bug where approvals are revoked when the pull request source branch was synchronized with the destination branch, although the effective diff of the pull request has not changed.
Version 9.0.0 • Released 2024-07-26
Workzone 9 is a compatibility release for Bitbucket 9 platform release.
There are no functionality, API or UI changes.

Version 8.4.0 • Released 2023-05-23
Workzone 8.4 is a feature release packed with goodies
- Detailed Workzone merge veto report: If Workzone vetoes a pull request merge a detailed report is accessible via the pull request page actions side bar. The merge veto report contains all details as to why the current pull request cannot be merged, including missing file/path reviewer approvals
- Additional permission checks for digital signature: additional security filter makes sure that a reviewer that must approve with a digitally signature can not approve the pull request by quickly clicking on the pull request approve button
- Additional merge condition token filePathMergeChecksPass: The Workzone advanced merge condition expression can now incorporate a new condition called filePathMergeChecksPass == true. Use filePathMergeChecks to evaluate file/path reviewer quota checks explicitly. This condition comes into play if the Workzone reviewer file/path configuration has also required approvals per file/path defined.
Version 8.3.2 • Released 2023-04-28

Version 8.2.1 • Released 2023-01-30
Workzone 8.2.1 fixes a UI problem that prevented repo configurations being decoupled from project configurations.
Version 8.2.0 • Released 2022-11-03
Workzone 7.7 delivers a much needed enterprise feature that facilitates ordering pull request reviewer, signature and (auto)merge rules by priority.
The first rule that matches a pull request’s source and destination branch will be executed.
Place rules with close or direct branch matching expressions at the top of the list and the catch-all rule at the bottom. For example:
1. (release/current > main) >> reviewers: team1, qa-group
2. (release/* > main) >> reviewers: qa-group
3. ( > main) >> reviewers: bot-reviewer
In this case if someone creates a pull request from any branch other than release/* a bot user gets assigned. Any pull request from release/current gets reviewers groups team1 and qa-group, but if the pull request source branch matches anything else than release/current only qa-group is added as reviewers.
All reviewer, signature approval and (auto)merge rules follow the same match by priority approach.
