window, in the Destination section, specify where you want to save
the rule:
- To save a rule to an unlocked ruleset, select Ruleset, and then specify a ruleset and a ruleset version.
- To save a rule to a branch, select Branch, and then specify the branch.
- In the Check-in comments field, enter a comment that describes your changes to the rule.
- Optional: To override the default work item that your application
associates with this development change, press the Down arrow key in the Work
item to associate field, and then select a work item.For more information about your default work item, see Setting your current work item.
- Click Check in.
