Overview

This node operation allows users to unapprove a specific merge request in a GitLab project. It is useful in scenarios where a previously approved merge request needs to be retracted or reconsidered, such as when additional changes are required or issues are found after approval. For example, a developer or project manager can use this operation to unapprove a merge request to trigger further review or modifications before merging.

Use Case Examples

  1. Unapprove a merge request with ID 123 in project 456 to require additional review.
  2. Revoke approval on a merge request to ensure code quality and compliance before merging.
