How Do I See All Changed Files in Visual Studio?

You can see all changed files in Visual Studio using the Solution Explorer window.

Solution Explorer

1. Open Solution Explorer: Click the Solution Explorer tab in the right pane of Visual Studio.
2. View Changed Files: Look for the Changes node under your project.
3. Expand Changes: Click the arrow next to the Changes node to expand and view a list of all modified files.

Git Integration

If you're using Git version control, Visual Studio integrates with Git, allowing you to see changes:

1. Open Team Explorer: Click the Team Explorer tab in the right pane of Visual Studio.
2. View Changes: Navigate to the Changes section within Team Explorer.
3. List of Changed Files: You'll see a list of all files that have been modified, added, or deleted since your last commit.

Visual Studio Code

If you are using Visual Studio Code, you can view changed files using the Source Control tab:

1. Open Source Control: Click the Source Control icon in the left sidebar of Visual Studio Code.
2. View Changed Files: The Source Control tab displays a list of all changed files.

Additional Tips

• Use the Search Bar: You can use the search bar within the Changes node or the Source Control tab to find specific files.
• Stage Changes: In Git, you can stage changes before committing them. This allows you to review and select specific files to include in your commit.
• Commit Changes: Once you're satisfied with the changes, you can commit them to your repository.
