Years ago whenever there was a new PR the test cases would run in GitHub actions. Now one has to approve the run somehow. Does anyone know how to run them on compat PRs?  
I have one here: [CompatHelper: bump compat for JLD2 to 0.5, (keep existing compat) by github-actions[bot] · Pull Request #52 · Wikunia/EverySingleStreet.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/Wikunia/EverySingleStreet.jl/pull/52) and I don’t see a button on how to run the tests for example.  
Any ideas how to fix this?
