Body

In order to better keep track of which files have been reviewed, and your place in the review process, whenever a file is marked as 'Viewed', there should be a checkmark on the left hand side navigation bar on the file, similar to how the Card Preview of that page gets a checkmark on the top left.

Helps visually organize and helps you keep your position

+1 to this.

The Viewed state is already a very useful way of tracking review progress, especially on larger PRs, but currently that state is only visible on the file itself and through the overall progress indicator.

When both viewed and unviewed files are displayed in the file tree, there is no way to tell them apart at a glance. This makes the tree much less useful as a navigation tool because you need to remember which files you have already reviewed.

A subtle checkmark or similar visual indicator next to files marked as Viewed would make it much easier to understand review progress and navigate large PRs without having to hide viewed files entirely.

It would also feel consistent with the other status indicators already shown in the file tree, such as comments or warnings.

I miss this feature every day. It would improve reviewing a lot - especially when you do not review from top to bottom ...
