Hi @gouravsood. To clarify, are you looking for a way to remove the file from the list of visible changes? We don't yet have a way to remove files from the visible list once they're put there, either through a Pull or through a Manual Add, without them being committed. We've talked about having a "hide" kind of functionality to move something out of the view, but we haven't implemented that yet. One trick we use ourselves to get files out of the visible list is to create another Work Item associated with the same development environment, as kind of a "dummy" work item (and title it as such). Then Commit the files in that work item (but don't promote them). And just leave the Work Item open in the In Progress state. Those files won't show up in any other work item's list of visible changes until they change again, or are manually added again.

I got tricked by this same "issue". I think that a first-time user has the impression taht the list of available changes displayed is the list of "selected* changes added to the Work Item.

We should be able to add files progressively from an "available" list to a "selected" list, before committing, since committing is irreversible. What's more, if CI/CD automated operations are triggered by a commit hook, it's important to get the commit right first time.

An nice option (some time) would be able to revert a commit (this feature is available in VS Code version management) and adjust the "selected" list of files by removing and/or adding some, before re-committing.

@RupertBarrow Thanks for this feedback. We actually did consider an interface like what you describe but landed with what we currently have for various reasons. We're happy to hear user feedback so we can continue to evolve the product as needed as we go.

We're planning to add a "Revert Commit" feature as well. It's currently a "stretch" item for us for GA - it we don't get to it for GA I'm hopeful it will be not too long after GA.

Hi, I'm experienced in Salesforce Release Management but I'm implementing my first project running on DevOps Center. I'm having a slightly different situation than the one described above. I did a a pull and got a number of components in the list. I selected them and tried to commit. But the commit failed. Now I'd like to remove one of the component from the list of component to commit to make it go through. Is there a way to do that in v6.0 ? If not, do you confirm the easiest way is to set the inital WI to Never and create a new one? Thanks in advance for your feedback. Regards, Patrick
