Undo Check Out Dialog Box

Tasks Related Topics

Use this dialog box to undo a check out of a solution, project, or individual item from source control. Items marked with a check mark in the Items box are returned to the state they were in before you checked them out.

Undoing a check out returns the item to read-only status in source control. No changes are saved to the source control database. The item returns to its condition and version before you checked it out.

Options

Items

Displays a list of the items based on your current selection in the Project Explorer (in the development environment). Select the box next to the items you wish to undo. A check mark appears next to the item. You can click Check All to select all the items at once.

This box displays the first level of folders and contents; to see additional items contained within sub-folders, click Recurse. Items contained within a sub-folder are not undone for their check out unless they are displayed individually in the Items box and selected with a check mark.

Check All

Selects with a check mark all the items visible in the Items box. To see additional subfolders and levels of items, click Recurse. Only items that are visible in the Items box and are shown with a check mark are affected by your action in this dialog box.

Recurse

Forces items to be displayed in sub-folders or sub-directories in the Items box. You can then select these items for source control actions.

By default, the Items box displays only the first level of items contained in the Project Explorer for the development environment. Clicking Recurse displays all the subfolders and all their items for any remaining levels of depth in the directory tree, as shown in the Project Explorer. You can then select additional items for actions in source control.

DonÆt show this dialog box again

Suppresses any more instances of the Undo Check Out dialog boxes. Undo Check Out becomes a direct command on the environment menus. You will not be able to add Comments or use Advanced options until you enable these dialog boxes again.

You can enable the dialog boxes again by changing the options listed in the Source Control page (from the Tools menu, select Options, then expand the Environment node and click the Source Control node).

Advanced

Displays more options on adding items to source control. Your source control program supplies these options.
