When you work on several projects, you can use specific pages to support your cross-project work. These pages provide quick access and filter functions to help you manage your tasks within a single project or across multiple projects.

For more information, see Switch project, repository, or team or Work across projects FAQs.

For example, you can quickly access and navigate to the following artifacts defined across projects:

  • Projects: View all projects defined for an organization in Azure DevOps.
  • Work items: Access work items assigned to you.
  • Pull requests: See pull requests you initiated or that are relevant to you across all team projects you work in.
  • Favorites: Access artifacts—such as projects, teams, repositories, shared queries, and more—that you marked as favorite.
