Adding plan pages

You can add pages to the iteration plan to create additional documentation for the plan. Use wiki editing syntax to format the text and content of the page. Merge changes with other concurrent users, if necessary.
To add a page to an iteration plan:
  1. To open an iteration plan, expand the Plans folder in the Team Artifacts view and double-click the iteration plan.
  2. To create a page, do one of the following actions:
    • Click the Add Page icon in the editor toolbar.
    • Right-click the tab bar at the bottom of the editor and click Add Page.
    The new page opens in edit mode. To edit an existing page, click the Edit icon in the editor toolbar.
  3. Add text and use the text formatting syntax to format the text and content of the page, or press Ctrl+space to view and select available formatting options at any location on the page.
  4. Drag a work item from the Work Item view to an iteration plan page to create a link to the work item. You can also drag elements from other views, including plans, feeds, java elements, and builds.
  5. To create a work item from text on the page:
    1. Drag the cursor across text to highlight it.
    2. Right-click on the highlighted text and click Insert Work Item.
    3. In the Select Work Item window, click Create new work item.
    4. In the Create Work Item window, select a type and type a summary. In the Filed Against field, select a work item category. Optionally, add a description and enter severity and "found in" information. Click OK.
  6. To link to an existing work item:
    1. Right-click on the page and click Insert Work Item.
    2. Clear the Show check boxes, if necessary, and type key words that match the work item summary.
    3. Select an entry in the Matching work items list and click OK.
  7. To close edit mode, click the Edit icon in the editor toolbar.
  8. Click the Save icon in the editor toolbar.

Merging concurrent changes

If another user edits and saves changes to an iteration plan page while you are editing it, you are prompted to merge the two versions when you save. The Compare window opens. You can accept changes from the other user's version into yours. When you commit the merge, your version becomes the current version of the page.
