When a conflict arises, what's better, atlantis unlock or closing+reopening the PR?

When another PR is accessing the same root module, why is it recommended to comment atlantis unlock instead of closing+reopening the PR?

Besides reducing notifications to PR approvers, what are the added pros of atlantis unlock over the comment?

I think you should ask your question in the slack group alos because it seems to have more activity there.

I disagree. It's better here as this can be publicly linked where as slack cannot be publicly linked.

atlantis unlock was created so that the user do not need access to the UI to unlock a PR, before that was the only way.
