I was reminded yesterday by a customer about something in the upgrade process that I thought was a helpful reminder for all the TFS administrators.\u00a0 If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Team Foundation Server to the recently released Team Foundation Server 2012, you\u2019ll want to make sure you add one more step to your post-upgrade plan.<\/p>\n
If you aren\u2019t familiar, local workspaces is the new feature in Team Foundation Server 2012 that makes it much easier to get started with working in TFS version control.\u00a0 It also improves the \u201coffline\u201d experience for developers and removes the \u201cread-only\u201d bit for version control items that aren\u2019t checked-out.\u00a0 Brian Harry introduced them in a blog post he wrote about the version control improvements introduced in TFS 2012<\/a>.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a video that shows how local workspaces are different from the traditional workspaces in previous releases.\u00a0 There is also a really good MSDN article that helps you understand when you should decide between the two options:\u00a0 Decide Between Using a Local or a Server Workspace in TFS 2012<\/a>.<\/p>\n
