Update existing shelf in visual studio

Question

Can visual studio 2013 update an existing shelf? I have continued to edit my files and now I'd like to update the shelf with my latest version of my current workspace.

Answer 1

As Visual Studio Team Suggested on their forum

Visual Studio Team (Product Team, Microsoft) responded · March 11, 2015 Thanks for the suggestion! We’re currently in the planning process for enabling an iterative shelveset experience. We’ll update this item when we have more details.

But creating a temp workspace, unshelve there, make the desired "update" change, re-shelve with replace can work. Here is a link suggesting it:

Can you add a file to an existing shelveset

Hope it helps further users!!

Answer 2

As it turns out, you can just create a new shelf with the same name and then confirm "Replace shelveset"

Silly tfs.
