Generating a Patch - Local Items

Based on a versioned item (already committed or scheduled for addition) in the working copy, you can generate patches that contain the local changes, the differences between a specific revision of that item and the item itself, or differences between the pristine item and another item from the repository. There are four options for generating a patch based upon local items.

To open the Create patch wizard, use the

Create patch action from the Tools menu or from the contextual menu in the Modified, Incoming, Outgoing, or Conflicts modes.
