The Pending Solution Checkins window shows project items that need
to be checked-in, including checked-out and view private files, in a dockable
Visual Studio tool window. Use the Pending Solution Checkins window to perform
operations on checked out and view private files, without having to leave
the IDE.
Like the Solution Explorer, the Pending Solution Checkins window
displays files hierarchically by project. View private items, which are project
items that need to be added to source control, can be checked in like other
checked-out files. The Pending Solution Checkins window will add the view
private item to source control when the item is checked in.
Toolbar
The Pending Solution Checkins window provides
a toolbar with the following buttons.
- Checkin All
- Checks in all pending solution checkins. View private items are added
to source control and checked in.
- Check In
- Checks in all selected items. Selected view private items are added to
source control and checked in.
- Undo Checkout
- Cancels the checkout of all selected items. Note that the undo checkout
operation reverts to the unedited state of the file; any changes to these
files are lost.
- Reserve
- Changes an unreserved checkout to reserved for all selected items. The
view with a reserved checkout has the exclusive right to check in a new version
for a branch or stream.
- Unreserve
- Changes a reserved checkout to unreserved for all selected items.
An
unreserved checkout does not guarantee the right to create the successor version
of an artifact. If several views have unreserved checkouts, the first view
to check in the element on a branch or stream creates the successor; developers
who are working in other views must merge the checked-in changes into their
own work before they can check in.
