Question

I'm trying to use the code review feature when I check-in my files but I get the following message at the top of team explorer :

To request a code review from your peers, enable the new features. Click here to enable the new features

When I click the link, it gets me to my project profile site, but I don't see any option to activate the code review feature anywhere...

Was it helpful?

Solution

Have a read of these two blog posts by Ewald Hofman, they cover the process of upgrading your team project or process template to allow new features.

In the event that the automatic upgrade cannot be performed, follow this MSDN article.

OTHER TIPS

I'm guessing you upgraded. If you upgrade from TFS 2010 to TFS 2012 RC (instead of to TFS 11 Beta), this is now handled auto-magically - Run the Configure Features Wizard.

Your project is likely missing the new work item type definition and related artifacts required for the Code Review functionality to work. That same page I sent has links to instructions on how to add that part manually, but the Configure Features Wizard is a lot less painful.
