Team Foundation Server: New Files

We're in the process of evaluating team foundation server for source control. There doesn't seem to be a great way to "discover" that another developer has added file(s) to a solution. Does anyone have any tips to make new files "jump out" a bit?

There are several alternatives

  • There is an option to get the latest version when you open a new solution. (Tools -> Options -> Source Control -> Environment -> Get everything when a solution or project is opened)
  • You can set alerts on a checkin so you see when somebody has checked in files. The easiest way is to install the TFS Power Tools - http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/c255a1e4-04ba-4f68-8f4e-cd473d6b971f - Then go to the Tools -> Alerts Editor

Another tip is when you want to do the integration of the sources to use Team Build.
