Checking In a Solution Item

Check in a solution item after you make changes to it, so other users can work on the item. Before you can publish a solution, you must check in the solution items checked out by you. Other users can check out solutions, but their changes will not be included in the Publish Set.

To check in a solution item, complete the following steps:
  1. In the Solution Explorer pane, right-click the required solution item and select Check In. The Check In Items window opens with the item you right-clicked selected automatically.

    Note:
    Click Check All if you want to check in all items of a solution or select additional items to check in by clicking the check box next to the items.


  2. From the Check In Type list, select the Version Type, so users can understand what level of edits were made to this specific version. Refer to the following table to understand what the version numbers mean and the recommended usage of each type.
