TFS Code Reviews – Show updated files in response to comments

So the process would flow like this:

  1. Person 1 requests a code review.
  2. Person 2 adds comments and selects “Needs Work.”
  3. Person 1 makes the necessary changes.
  4. Person 1 Updates the shelveset associated with the code review
  5. Person 1 adds comments to continue the discussion
  6. Repeat steps 2 – 5 until accepted

Here are the steps necessary to update the shelveset associated with the review.

  1. From the “Code Review” pane select the “view shelveset” link
  2. From the “Shelveset Details” pane highlight and copy the shelveset name
  3. Navigate to the “Pending Changes” pane, click on “Shelve” and paste the shelveset name
  4. Press the Yes button on the shelveset replace verification dialog
  5. Now the reviewer can see the updated files and the review discussion can continue

I’ve included some screen shots as I find it helps to clarify things.
