# Design reviews
To request a design review, explain your design (with or without a patch) and then add the [design-review-needed]query:keywords~=design-review-needed&status=!closed&group=milestone tag. Completion of a design review will normally not directly result in a patch being committed. The main goal of a design review is to give the person working on the ticket confidence that there are no show-stopping issues with the approach they are taking, and to get feedback on smaller issues that are useful to take into account before doing further work on a patch.
