Checking In an Element

Checking in an element exports the element from the Model and creates a new version of the file containing the selected element in the Source Control Bank. Team Foundation version control files are checked in to the source control server by using the Pending Changes window.

Any load errors that you encounter during check in are written to the Visual Studio Source Control Output Window.

To display and check in pending changes, perform the following:

  1. To view the Pending Changes pane, right-click one or more solutions, projects, or files, in Solution Explorer, and then click Check In.

  2. In the Included Changes section, select the elements you want to check in and then click Check In.

    It is recommended to check-in all the elements listed in the Included Changes section. However, if you are unsure of checking in any of the elements, right-click the element that you do not want to check-in and then click Exclude.
