View a List of Modified Files

You can use the Pending Checkins window to display at all times a list of the checked-out files in the current solution, and to check in these files with a single button click.

To view a list of modified files

  1. On the View menu, click Pending Checkins.

  2. To check in the selected files, click Check In. Alternatively, you can dock the Pending Checkins window on the right side of the Management Studio environment so that you can check in the files when you are finished working.

    • Check In
      Checks in the solution.

    • Comments
      Associates a plain text comment with the pending check in. A comment is created and associated with each version of a project, and stored in the source control database.

    • Options
      Specifies the actions that source control should take when you click the Check In button.

      • Keep All Checked Out

    • Sort
      Specifies the sort order for the columns displayed in the Items list.

    • Columns
      Displays a list of the columns you can add to the window's Items list.

    • Tree View

    • Flat View
      Displays the files you are checking in as flat lists under their source control connection.

    • Compare Versions
      Opens the Visual SourceSafe Difference Options dialog box, which compares a selected file in your development environment project to any other selected file and shows you the differences, if any.

    • Undo checkout
      Reverses the checkout of all items selected in the Pending Checkins window.

    • Name
      Displays a list of the items available for check in. Items appear with the check box next to them selected. If you do not want to check in a particular item, clear the check box next to it.
