-After you submit the review, Amazon Q Developer begins reviewing the code based on your feedback. When Amazon Q Developer is done revising your feedback, it commits the changes to the pull request and updates you with a comment.
+In the conversation, you can use the `/q` command followed by your instructions in natural language (for example, `/q implement my suggestions` or `/q refactor this function for better performance`). Amazon Q Developer will respond with a comment describing the changes it will make based on your feedback (for example, "I will implement the following changes based on the feedback: ..."). When the implementation is complete, Amazon Q Developer will post another comment confirming the changes (for example, "I have implemented the suggested changes.") along with a link to the generated commit where you can view the changes.

-Amazon Q Developer integrates with GitHub Actions workflows to create an intelligent feedback loop system. When a pull request is created, configured workflows, such as unit tests, automatically execute. If the workflow fails, Amazon Q Developer analyzes the output, and based on the results and failure information, it iterates on the code changes. As code changes are pushed and workflows execute, Amazon Q Developer interprets the results and uses this information to refine its approach. That creates a continuous learning loop where each iteration builds upon previous attempts and Amazon Q Developer is able to evolve its solutions.

-The effectiveness of a feedback loop is dependent on having well-defined tests and workflows that provide meaningful feedback to Amazon Q Developer to interpret and act upon. You can configure workflows using GitHub Actions YAML files in your repository, allowing for customized testing and validation processes that Amazon Q Developer can respond to. For more information, see [Understanding GitHub Actions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/about-github-actions/understanding-github-actions)in the _GitHub documentation_.
