TFS 2010 make change to local copy

In TFS 2010 I have a project and I want to make only a local change to it and not check it in. I don't have edit privileges on the pro开发者_如何学编程ject. I tried removing the read only from the project but it will not work(will not allow me to edit). Is there an alternative ?

Once you have made your changes, if you really don't want to check them in, but, you want to preserve them, create a shelveset to store your changes. This way, you can undo your changes so you don't always have them checked out and then if someone else changes the project, you can get latest, and then unshelve your changes to see how they work with the new code.

You have to check out a file before you can edit it. Once you are done, just "Undo" that change (right-click and undo). If you're wanting to add a new file, it's the same thing. Add the file, then undo the change without checking in.

Remember, adding files is a "local" operation. They are marked as a pending add until you actually commit them to the server by checking in.
