How to: Find a Changeset

The server assigns the set of pending changes a unique changeset number. Changeset numbers increase sequentially. No two changesets may have the same date/time of check in. You can specify a changeset number to get specific versions of files from Team Foundation version control, as described in How to: Get the Source for Your Team Project and How to: Update File Versions in Your Workspace. If you want to get a version based on a changeset, you must find the changeset by using the Find Changeset dialog box, as described in the following procedure.

Required Permissions

To perform these procedures, you must have the Read permission set to Allow on at least one item you are trying to find. For more information, see Team Foundation Server Permissions.
