TFVC code review in Visual Studio

TFS 2018

Visual Studio 2019 | Visual Studio 2022

You can use Visual Studio to request code reviews, respond to review requests, and suspend and resume work for Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC).

If you're using Git source control instead of TFVC, use a pull request for code reviews.

Note

Visual Studio My Work and Code Review features are available with the following editions:

  • Visual Studio 2022: Visual Studio Community, Visual Studio Professional, and Visual Studio Enterprise
  • Visual Studio 2019: Visual Studio Professional and Visual Studio Enterprise

Prerequisites

Before you ask for a code review, make sure you've shared your code in TFVC.

Request a code review

Before you check in code, you can use Visual Studio to ask someone else from your team to review it. Your request appears in the recipient's Team Explorer window on the My Work page.

To request a code review, before you check in a change:

  1. Go to the My Work page in Team Explorer.

  4. You can suspend your work so you can work on something else while you wait to hear back from the code review. On the My Work page of Team Explorer, select Suspend in the In Progress Work section, optionally enter a different name for the suspended work, and then select Suspend.

  1. On the My Work page of Team Explorer, locate the review request.

    Your changes are unshelved and the windows you had opened are restored, so you can incorporate the review feedback.

  2. On the Code Review page, you can close the review by selecting Close Review and then selecting Complete if the review is finished, or Abandon if you don't plan to finish it.
