The Teamprise History view displays the history of an item in TFS source control. Each time you check a file or selection of files into the TFS repository you create a new changeset on the server which is logged by number, user, and date. Use the View History task to identify a version you wish to retrieve, to compare two versions, or to get more information about a changeset such as files modified (displayed in the Changeset Details dialog), associated Work Items and Check-in Notes.
In your Source Control view right-click on the file or folder whose history you want to retrieve. Click View History.

The History tab displays the file name and path to your local working folder. The History view displays a list of all changesets on that file or folder in TFS source control, ordered chronologically with the latest version at the top of the list. Changesets are displayed by number, type of change (such as edit, add, rename, etc.), the user who made the change, the date, and a check-in comment. Right-click on any item in the list of changesets for more Teamprise options.

To retrieve a specific version to your local workspace from the list of changesets, right-click on the item you want to retrieve and select Get This Version.

Teamprise retrieves the selected version from the server and replaces the version in your workspace, regardless if the file is checked-out for editing or not. The Latest status in your Source Control view changes to No.
Note: Retrieving a file to your workspace does not make it writeable if it is not checked out for editing. To work on the retrieved version in your workspace you must issue a check-out for edit command. If you try to check the file back in, you will be prompted to resolve the conflict.
To open the Changeset Details dialog box, In the History view, right-click on a changeset and select the Details... option. The Changeset Details provides additional information about the selected changeset, including the TFS location and any links or external objects associated at check-in such as Work Items and Check-in Notes which can be viewed by clicking on their respective tabs. When you right-click an item in this view you can select the View or Compare options.
