You can check in changed files into the version control server by using the Pending Changes window or the Check In dialog box. Changes are checked in as a group and tracked on the server as a changeset. During a check-in, you can add explanatory comments, associate work items with the changeset, and review adherence to check-in policy. Various aspects of the check-in process can be customized by your administrator.
How the Check-in Process Works
When you initiate a check-in operation, the source file updates either succeed as a group or fail as a group. If any of the changes in the list of pending changes cannot be submitted to the server (for example, because of a conflict), none of the changes are committed and a changeset is not created.
During a check-in operation:
Compliance with check-in policy is validated.
The changes are committed to the server as a changeset, and the changeset number is displayed.
Files that were checked out are returned to a read-only state. Your changes appear in the server and can be retrieved by other users.
E-mail is delivered to team members who have subscribed for check-in notification.
Work items are updated.
Customizing the Check-in Process
A Team Foundation administrator can configure the check-in notes and check-in policies that apply to a given team project. For more information, see Walkthrough: Customizing the Check In Experience.
