The Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) undo command discards one or more pending changes to files or folders.

Prerequisites

By default, members of the project Contributors group have permissions to contribute to a repository and use the undo command in their own workspaces. To undo pending changes in another user's workspace, you must have the Administer workspaces permission set to Allow. For more information, see Default TFVC permissions.

Syntax

tf undo [/workspace:<workspace-name>[;<workspace-owner>]]
[/recursive] <item-specification> [/noprompt] [/login:<username>,[<password>]]
[/collection:<team-project-collection-url>]

Parameters

Parameter

Description

/collection:<team-project-collection-url>

Specifies the URL of the project collection that contains the items, for example, https://myserver:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection.

If you don't use the /workspace option, the project collection that contains the workspace that maps the current directory is used by default.

<item-specification>

Specifies the scope of the items. You can specify more than one <item-specification> argument. For syntax, see Use Team Foundation version control commands.

/login

Specifies the user account to use to run the command. See Use Team Foundation version control commands.

/noprompt

Suppresses the display of windows and dialog boxes and redirects output data to the command prompt. See Use Team Foundation version control commands.

/recursive

Recursively undoes changes to items in the specified directory and any subdirectories.

/workspace <workspace-name>[;<workspace-owner>]

Specifies the name of the workspace to undo pending changes in. If not specified, the workspace that maps the current directory is used.

You can specify <workspace-owner> to undo a pending change in a workspace that belongs to a specific user. If you don't provide this argument, the workspace that's owned by the current user is used by default. But if you provide the /login argument with a username, the workspace that's owned by that user is used. You must have the UndoOther permission set to Allow to undo changes in another user's workspace.

Note

You can use the undo command to undo a pending change in a remote workspace that's still in use. Before continuing work in that workspace, a user must sign in to the machine that hosts the workspace and get the items that are affected by the undo operation. For more information about the get command and its /all argument, see Get command.

Remarks

For each item that has a pending edit change, the undo command determines whether the file has been modified on disk. If the file has been modified and the /noprompt option hasn't been specified, the system prompts you to confirm that you want to proceed. On the keyboard, select:

  • N to leave the change in place.
  • Y to proceed with only the current change.
  • A to proceed with this file and any other modified files that are detected.

The undo command removes any locks on the specified items.

Examples

The following command removes pending changes to the program.cs file:

c:\code\SiteApp\Main\SolutionA\Project1>tf undo program.cs

The following command removes pending changes to all items in the c:\code\SiteApp\Main folder and its subfolders:

c:\code\SiteApp\Main>tf undo * /recursive

The following command removes pending changes to the program.cs file in the specified collection and remote workspace:

c:\>tf undo /collection:https://fabrikam-3:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection
/workspace:FABRIKAM-1;PatI $/SiteApp/Main/SolutionA/Project1/program.cs

Tips

  • To view a list of pending changes in the current workspace or in a remote workspace, use the status command. For more information, see Status command.
  • You can use the /workspace option, and as needed, the /collection option, to undo changes on a remote development machine. This capability is especially useful in cases when a file has been checked out and possibly locked on a development machine that you can't access. For more information, see the explanation of the /workspace argument, earlier in this article.
  • Sometimes you need to clean your workspace, for example, when your work is interrupted by a more urgent task. If you want to preserve the pending changes instead of undoing them, you can suspend them by using the shelve command. For more information, see Shelve command. You can also preserve the position of your open windows, breakpoints, and other important cues. For more information, see Suspend your work and manage your shelvesets.
  • Besides undoing pending changes, you can also discard changes that have already been checked in. For more information, see Undelete command and Rollback command (Team Foundation Version Control).
