Delivering change sets

To make outgoing change sets available to the rest of your team, deliver them.

About this task

As you check in changes to a component, change sets accumulate in the component's Outgoing folder. This folder is visible in the Pending Changes view. The message area of the Pending Changes view toolbar indicates how many change sets are pending and whether they are outgoing or incoming. There are several ways to deliver change sets:

To deliver all outgoing change sets, click the icon in the Pending Changes view toolbar.
To create a change set from unresolved changes and then deliver it, right-click the Unresolved folder or a project in it and click Check in and deliver. (If you have enabled automatic check-in, you cannot use Check in and deliver.)

Procedure

In the Pending Changes view, navigate to the Outgoing folder of the component that contains the change set.
To include a comment, right-click the change set and click Edit Comment.
Many team processes require a change set to include a comment, an association with a work item, or both before you can deliver it.
To specify a non-default flow target before you deliver changes, open the Pending Changes view, right-click the repository workspace, and click Change Flow Target. Select from the list of targets you added to your repository workspace, or enter a text string to search for another stream or workspace.
