Add to Review Wizard

First, you should select what type of materials to upload. The number of available options would depend on what SCM configuration you have chosen as the default in the extension settings.

• Add changelists/changesets/shelvesets - Upload changes that have been submitted to source control repository. The created review will contain all files that belong to the specified changelists, changesets or shelvesets along with the history of changes between revisions.

• Add changed files - Upload pending changes (staged for, but not yet submitted to source control repository) from the current solution or from another location. The created review will contain the selected files along with the history of changes between the staged and the submitted revisions.

• Add local files - Upload arbitrary local files. The created review will contain only the selected files without their revision history.

Select this command to upload arbitrary local files.

Use it if you need to create a review for the files that are not in source control.
