.net - Edit changeset comment after updates have been checked in to TFS -


I have just switched to VS 2012 and are unfamiliar about it, checked in some big changes without comment. No further updates have been made since this and no other developers will have access to the code for a few more hours.

Is there any way to add a comment to this change which has now been investigated?

An easy way to do this is:

  • Point to your source tree in the appropriate source explorer window, perhaps the root of the branch but you can drill down a bit too
  • ... or, if you know a special file that is included in the changes Find it and select it (the solution can be done from the Explorer panel)
  • Click OK, View History (Source Expect Orr) or Source Control - & gt; View History (Solution Explorer)

    • Find the specific change that you have, then right-click, Change Changeset Details

      • Edit the comment, hit Save link above the comment text box

        • Refresh the history view to see the updated comment

          Through the Web interface:

          • Make your TFS Web your browser Navigate to the portal (if you are using TFS Online then it will be [name of your account]. Visualstudio.com )
          • From you home portal navigate your project (If it is not available under Recent Projects and Teams , click the Browse link under that heading)
          • Page Click on the code link at the top of
          • You X under your project
          • Click Change at the top of this page, click on the link in the tree viewer tab, in the tree view navigates and the specific branch you are selecting. To bring changes to the branch. Use Advanced Search at the top right of that panel if you need it
          • Click the Changeset [number] link for the change status You are interested in
          • Click the small speech bubble plus the plus over the details details panel Sign in, a textbox will appear and you can enter your comment - hit enter < / Em> will save the comment.

            Note that it is possible to create a series of series through this method, which is not possible through the desktop UI. Also keep in mind that the comment of the web entry will only appear in the web interface, whatever you add via desktop use, the default Changeset [number] link will appear in the web interface.
