Work across projects

TFS 2017

When you work on several projects, you can use select pages to support your cross-project work. These pages provide quick access and filter functions to support your work within a single project or work you're doing across several projects.

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

  • Projects: Team projects and teams within the projects that you work in
  • Favorites: Items—such as build definitions, repositories, shared queries, and more —that you've favorited
  • Work items: Work items assigned to you, that you're following, or that you've recently viewed or updated
  • Pull requests: Pull requests you've initiated or that are relevant to you across all team projects you work in
  • Rooms: Team rooms you use to collaborate with other team members.

Note

The features described in this article require TFS 2017.1 and later versions. To upgrade to TFS 2017.1, go to the Visual Studio downloads page.

To switch to another project, see Switch project, repository, or team.
