How to mark all GitHub pull request files as not viewed

When you’re reviewing a pull request on GitHub it can be really useful to mark files as viewed. But sometimes you want to revisit all the files in a PR and, when it’s a large PR, it can be tedious to have to un-select ‘Viewed’ for every file. Fortunately, there’s an easier way.

With the PR code open in your browser, open up the Web Console¹ and paste in the following JavaScript:

document
  .querySelectorAll(".js-reviewed-checkbox[checked]")
  .forEach((c) => c.click());

That will find all the ‘Viewed’ checkboxes that have been checked already and click on them for you, flipping the files to being un-viewed. You can add this bookmarklet to your browser bookmarks for future use:

Mark GitHub PR files as unviewed

As an extra bonus, if you add a keyword to the bookmark in Firefox — let’s say ‘unview’ — then you can type ‘unview’ into the address bar and it will run the JavaScript without leaving the page, and mark all files as un-viewed.
