Github - Merging is blocked (confusing/misleading error message)

Question

I created a pull request, my approver requested some changes, i marked those resolved and clicked on re-request button with out seeing if the merging was blocked or unblocked. So now to unblock merging, do approver need to review the changes again and approve it ? Beacause the below message did not say it needs to be approved by reviewer.

Merging can be performed automatically once the requested changes are addressed.

Answer 1

Ideally it's best for the reviewer who requested changes to re-review.
But... if the original reviewer is unavailable then you can reach out to someone else who can review your changes & have them approve it instead.
