Use of TFS Annotate Feature

May 4th, 2009
by Olga Belokurskaya

Hi there!

Well, while TFS 2010 is still in a “coming soon” state, let’s talk about TFS 2008. )

I’ve recently found a blog with some tips on the use of TFS 2008. Maybe, someone will find them interesting and helpful. Let’s take, for example, the “Annotate” feature which allows to see changes occurred in a particular file with respect to a particular change set. Thus, one may view all the change sets and the exactly changes to a particular file it did. This is feature may help when one’s working in a team and working on a particular file and unable to understand what changes the teammates have actually caused in that file.

Annotate is a built-in the Team Explorer functionality and may be activated by right clicking on any file and choosing “Annotate” from the menu. Here is what it looks like:

The file will be opened in the IDE with the change set numbers, the information about authors and dates of changes.

There is also a possibility to view the details of the particular change set.
