  4. Take note of the Status column. (You may need to use the scroll bar to view this column.)

    • Status Displays the status of the file, such as whether you have modified the file.

      • Checked Out This indicates that the file has been modified. You can commit the file when you are ready.See Committing Source Control Files—Git.

      • .Pending Add This indicates that you have a file in your project but have not yet added it to Git. This might occur, for example, if you create a new topic and do not add the file to source control during the topic creation process. To resolve this, simply right-click on the file and select Source Control > Add . See Adding Files to Source Control—Git.

      Note: You can click the refresh button in the local toolbar to make sure you have the most recent status for each file. Another option is that you can use a feature to automatically ping the source control repository periodically, thus refreshing this information frequently. However, you may experience slower performance with this automatic status update option set. See Enabling Source Control Status Checks—Git.
