How to re-open code review?

Question

I made a mistake while using Team Server Foundation. I had requested a code review and also added myself as a reviewer so I could add comments on each file. Once finished, I closed the review without realizing it would close it for everyone else.

How do I re-open a closed review? All it gives me is grayed out text or no available actions anywhere I try to open it (Source Control Explorer, Team Explorer, and Web).

Answer 1

You can't but you can still view the review.

1. In visual studio, in the Team Explorer panel click on Pending Changes.

2. Click on Action and select Find Shelvesets.

3. Enter your username in the research box.

   

4. In the list click on the code review you want to open.

5. The view as change for the Shelvesets Details.

6. In the Related Work Items section. Open the work item for the review.

   

7. And there it is.
