Is the Checkout function supported in Visual Studio Team Services?

2

Today we are in a small development team, we are in 3 people. One question, does Visual Studio Team Services have this function or do we need a server for TFS installed only for this function?

Thank you.

Yes, it is possible to have the Check-out function in VSTS.

This is because the availability of this function is not service (TFS or VSTS), but a combination of two factors:

  • The type of repository in use, which should be TFVC (Git does not support the known checkout); and
  • The type of workspace on the developer machine, which must be of type Server (local workspaces do not maintain the status of the files being checked out on the server).
