Someone wants that I review a change. How to review a change?

Once you have opened the Gerrit page you can move to the list of changes that require review by clicking All. This will show you the list of all changes that require action. Clicking on any of these changes will bring you to the change overview. This page contains information about the change, already received voting, dependencies of the change with other changes and allows you to look at the current patchset and leave inline comments. Once you went through all the touched files you can click the Review button, leave a vote and provide a comment. The easiest way to start the review is by clicking on the Commit Message and then jump to the next file. Inside the Differences view you can modify the display by clicking on the Side-by-Side, Unified Preferences, Patch Sets links.
