3. Copy and paste your code into the provided text box or upload a file by clicking the "Upload" button.
4. Click on the "Review Code" button to start the analysis.

Step 3: Get better results

Pro tip

Use the "Save Review" feature to keep track of multiple code reviews. This allows you to compare changes over time and see how your code quality improves.

Common mistake to avoid

Avoid submitting large blocks of code at once. Break your code into smaller sections for more precise feedback and easier identification of issues.
