Stakeholders can respond to feedback requests for user stories and features generated in Azure DevOps using a lightweight end-to-end flow based on the Test & Feedback extension. Only users with Basic access can request feedback. Basic users can provide feedback using the flow described in this topic.

Note

This lightweight end-to-end flow is applicable only for web apps and by using Azure DevOps. To get feedback for desktop apps, or for earlier versions of TFS, use the feedback flow described in Get feedback about the Microsoft Feedback Client.

Use the Test & Feedback extension to provide voluntary feedback, even if you don't receive a feedback request.
