Pending Solution Checkins Window

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.
