## Overview
Merge requests (aka "MRs") display a great deal of information about the changes proposed.
The body of an MR contains its description, along with its widget (displaying information
about CI/CD pipelines, when present), followed by the discussion threads of the people
collaborating with that MR.
MRs also contain navigation tabs from which you can see the discussion happening on the thread,
the list of commits, the list of pipelines and jobs, the code changes and inline code reviews.
## Merge request navigation tabs at the top
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/33813) in GitLab 12.6. This positioning is experimental.
So far, the navigation tabs present in merge requests to display **Discussion**,
**Commits**, **Pipelines**, and **Changes** were located after the merge request
widget.
To facilitate this navigation without having to scroll up and down through the page
to find these tabs, based on user feedback, we are experimenting with a new positioning
of these tabs. They are now located at the top of the merge request, with a new
**Overview** tab, containing the description of the merge request followed by the
widget. Next to **Overview**, you can find **Pipelines**, **Commits**, and **Changes**.
