Preview the changes
Check this before reviewing line by line. Amintlify[bot] comment normally appears on the PR within moments of the last push, with a status table and a View Preview link to the changed pages as rendered. It rebuilds on every new push, so it always reflects the PR’s current content.
A PR with no bot comment is usually not a build failure - it is most likely a PR opened from a fork, which does not get an automatic preview. Ask the author, or see Manual (custom) previews for requesting one.

Annotations can lag behind the latest push
A check-run annotation on Files changed, such as one from an advisory check documented in Automated tests, reflects the commit it was generated against, not necessarily the PR’s current HEAD. GitHub attaches each annotation to the specific commit its check run was generated against, and the multi-commit diff view can still surface an old annotation next to a line a later commit already fixed. To see the true current state, check the Checks tab, or the latest run of the specific check, instead of trusting an annotation seen while scrolling a multi-commit diff. Watch for this especially on a PR that has had several pushes before you start reviewing.Start and submit review
