# Award emoji
|
||
|
|
||
|
>**Notes:**
|
||
|
- First [introduced][1825] in GitLab 8.2.
|
||
|
- GitLab 9.0 [introduced][ce-9570] the usage of native emojis if the platform
|
||
|
supports them and falls back to images or CSS sprites. This change greatly
|
||
|
improved the award emoji performance overall.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When you're collaborating online, you get fewer opportunities for high-fives
|
||
|
and thumbs-ups. Emoji can be awarded to issues, merge requests, snippets, and
|
||
|
virtually everywhere where you can have a discussion.
|
||
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
Award emoji make it much easier to give and receive feedback without a long
|
||
|
comment thread. Comments that are only emoji will automatically become
|
||
|
award emoji.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Sort issues and merge requests on vote count
|
||
|
|
||
|
> [Introduced][2871] in GitLab 8.5.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can quickly sort issues and merge requests by the number of votes they
|
||
|
have received. The sort options can be found in the dropdown menu as "Most
|
||
|
popular" and "Least popular".
|
||
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
The total number of votes is not summed up. An issue with 18 upvotes and 5
|
||
|
downvotes is considered more popular than an issue with 17 upvotes and no
|
||
|
downvotes.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Award emoji for comments
|
||
|
|
||
|
> [Introduced][4291] in GitLab 8.9.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Award emoji can also be applied to individual comments when you want to
|
||
|
celebrate an accomplishment or agree with an opinion.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To add an award emoji, click the smile in the top right of the comment and pick
|
||
|
an emoji from the dropdown. If you want to remove an award emoji, just click
|
||
|
the emoji again and the vote will be removed.
