Lock and unlock folders or files in Team Foundation Version Control

TFS 2017 | TFS 2015 | TFS 2013

Visual Studio 2019 | Visual Studio 2017 | Visual Studio 2015 | Visual Studio 2013

A folder or file tracked by TFVC can be locked or unlocked to deny or restore the user's privileges. Privileges include checking out an item for edit into a different workspace or checking in Pending Changes to an item from a different workspace. For more information, see Create and work with workspaces.

Note

This article applies to files managed by Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) that you need to lock or unlock. For help unlocking files in use by programs on your PC, use the Handle and Process Explorer tools to help you find which program that is locking your file(s).

You can use a lock to temporarily freeze the server version of an item so that you can check in a pending change without having to resolve any merge conflicts. If you want to permanently prevent access to an item on the server, you should use the Permission Command instead.

Tip

You can use the Lock command to remove another user's lock if you have sufficient permissions.

Prerequisites

See Default TFVC permissions
