> Hi @suchismith1993 , you can place this change on top of #16920 by comparing it with branch origin/pr/16920 instead of master. This way you might be able to proceed with your change. But as Thomas says you can only push if you have appropriate reviews.

Hi @GoeLin  I am not sure how to do that . Could you tell me in brief ? 
Do I run the checkout command on the other PR and then place my change of top of it ?
