Research direction

Start by locating the Diffshub review interface and how reviewers navigate between files. Compare existing ways to keep content visible while switching files, then clarify whether the pinned file should appear in a right drawer or a floating panel. Done means a reviewer can keep one file visible while viewing another.

Description

enhancement
Prerequisites
Proposal

Add right drawer or floating pannel with pinned files while reviewing the other files.

Motivation and context

While reviewing large migrations, most of the times I want to look to two unrelated files at same time to compare each other.

Today I just open a new tab but would be nice to have that natively by just clicking in the file and making it float or opened as right drawer to allow me review the other files while I can read that specific file at same time.
