Find a Shelveset

Shelving lets you set aside the pending changes in your workspace to work on a higher-priority task or to share your code with another user for code review. The following procedure demonstrates how to find an existing shelveset to make it easier to unshelve, view details, or delete.

Required Permissions

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

To find a shelveset

  1. In Team Explorer, select the applicable team project.

  2. On the File menu, click Source Control, and then click Unshelve Pending Changes. The Unshelve dialog box appears.

    Note

    If you have pending changes, or if the Team Foundation files are out of sync with the workspace, an error will occur if you use the Unshelve Pending Changes command. The most reliable method is to unshelve by using the Pending Changes window. For more information, see View and Manage All Pending Changes in Your Workspace.

  3. Enter the name or alias of a team project team member in the Owner name box, and then click Find.

  4. In the Results list, click the shelveset for which you are searching.

    In The Unshelve dialog box, you can view shelveset details, delete a shelveset, or perform an unshelve operation. For more information, see View Details for Shelvesets, Delete a Shelveset, and Shelve and Unshelve Pending Changes.

  5. Click Close.
