This integration enables you to view and decide what to check in and check out before committing to the action. Using the
Pending Check-in and
Pending Check-out dialog boxes, you can specify the files you want to check in or out and add summary and detailed description comments. You
can also compare the contents to see the changes you've made since last checking a file out.
If you have created item shortcuts, or if you have set an
Active Process Item, you can choose the desired item from the list. The corresponding files associated with the selection are automatically selected
in the file list at the bottom of the dialog. Items available from the list include, shortcuts to change requests, requirements,
and tasks and the active process item.
The
Pending Check-in and
Pending Check-out dialog boxes also let you specify the type of file locking to use after files are checked in, do forced check-ins, link and
pin process items to files, and assign revision labels or specify a revision to check out.
Note: After you have added summary and/or detail comments, or associated the files that you are checking in with shortcut items,
you can optionally close the dialog. The comments and associations that you make in the dialog boxes are saved prior to adding
or checking in the files. These associations are saved and persist even when closing the solution.
