## Suggest Changes
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/18008) in GitLab 11.6.
As a reviewer, you're able to suggest code changes with a simple
markdown syntax in Merge Request Diff discussions. Then, the
Merge Request author (or other users with appropriate
[permission](../permissions.md)) is able to apply these
suggestions with a click, which will generate a commit in
the Merge Request authored by the user that applied them.
1. Choose a line of code to be changed, add a new comment, then click
on the **Insert suggestion** icon in the toolbar:
![Add a new comment](img/insert_suggestion.png)
> **Note:**
The suggestion will only affect the commented line. Multi-line
suggestions are currently not supported. Will be introduced by
[#53310](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/53310).
1. In the comment, add your suggestion to the pre-populated code block:
![Add a suggestion into a code block tagged properly](img/make_suggestion.png)
1. Click **Comment**.
The suggestions in the comment can be applied by the merge request author
directly from the merge request:
![Apply suggestions](img/suggestion.png)
> **Note:**
Discussions are _not_ automatically resolved. Will be introduced by
[#54405](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/54405).
Once the author applies a suggestion, it will be marked with the **Applied** label,
and GitLab will create a new commit with the message `Apply suggestion to <file-name>`
and push the suggested change directly into the codebase in the merge request's branch.
[Developer permission](../permissions.md) is required to do so.
> **Note:**
Custom commit messages will be introduced by
[#54404](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/54404).

As a reviewer, you can add suggestions to change the content in
merge request discussions, and users with appropriate [permission](../../permissions.md)
can easily apply them to the codebase directly from the UI. Read
through the documentation on [Suggest changes](../../discussions/index.md#suggest-changes)
to learn more.
