 Merge requests allow you to exchange changes you made to source code and
 collaborate with other people on the same project.
 
-## Checkout merge requests locally
+## Authorization for merge requests
 
-### By adding a git alias
+There are two main ways to have a merge request flow with GitLab:
+
+1. Working with [protected branches][] in a single repository
+1. Working with forks of an authoritative project
+
+[Learn more about the authorization for merge requests.](merge_requests/authorization_for_merge_requests.md)
+
+## Cherry-pick changes
+
+Cherry-pick any commit in the UI by simply clicking the **Cherry-pick** button
+in a merged merge requests or a commit.

+
+## Merge when build succeeds
+
+When reviewing a merge request that looks ready to merge but still has one or
+more CI builds running, you can set it to be merged automatically when all
+builds succeed. This way, you don't have to wait for the builds to finish and
+remember to merge the request manually.

+
+## Resolve discussion comments in merge requests reviews
+
+Keep track of the progress during a code review with resolving comments.
+Resolving comments prevents you from forgetting to address feedback and lets
+you hide discussions that are no longer relevant.
+
+[Read more about resolving discussion comments in merge requests reviews.](merge_requests/merge_request_discussion_resolution.md)
+
+## Resolve conflicts
+
+When a merge request has conflicts, GitLab may provide the option to resolve
+those conflicts in the GitLab UI.
+
+[Learn more about resolving merge conflicts in the UI.](merge_requests/resolve_conflicts.md)
+
+## Revert changes
+
+GitLab implements Git's powerful feature to revert any commit with introducing
+a **Revert** button in merge requests and commit details.
+
+[Learn more about reverting changes in the UI](merge_requests/revert_changes.md)
+
+## Merge requests versions
+
+Every time you push to a branch that is tied to a merge request, a new version
+of merge request diff is created. When you visit a merge request that contains
+more than one pushes, you can select and compare the versions of those merge
+request diffs.
+
+[Read more about the merge requests versions.](merge_requests/versions.md)
+
+## Work In Progress merge requests
+
+To prevent merge requests from accidentally being accepted before they're
+completely ready, GitLab blocks the "Accept" button for merge requests that
+have been marked as a **Work In Progress**.
+
+[Learn more about settings a merge request as "Work In Progress".](merge_requests/work_in_progress_merge_requests.md)
+
+## Ignore whitespace changes in Merge Request diff view
+
+If you click the **Hide whitespace changes** button, you can see the diff
+without whitespace changes (if there are any). This is also working when on a
+specific commit page.
+

+You can append `?w=1` while on the diffs page of a merge request to ignore any
+whitespace changes.

+Here are some tips that will help you be more efficient with merge requests in
+the command line.

+A merge request contains all the history from a repository, plus the additional
+commits added to the branch associated with the merge request. Here's a few
+tricks to checkout a merge request locally.
