# Check in files

To check in files (submit a changelist):

1. Open the Submit dialog by doing one of the following:

   - Right-click the icon of a file that is checked out, marked for add, or marked for delete, and choose Submit…​ to open the Submit Files dialog.
   - Go to View > Pending changelists or, in the status bar, click 1 Pending Change or <number of changes> Pending Changes to open the Pending dialog. Then right-click a changelist and choose Submit…​ to open the Submit Files dialog.

   Note that the Submit Changelist and Submit Files dialogs are functionally identical; they differ only in how you access them.

2. In the Submit Changelist or Submit Files dialog, enter a description or edit the existing description, and select the files you want to check in.

   You can also perform the following actions:

   - Remove files from the changelist.
   - Revert unchanged files in the changelist (removing the unchanged files from the changelist, canceling the check-out, and leaving them synced to the version you originally checked out) or submit only changed files (moving the unchanged files to the default changelist after the current changelist is submitted).
   - Check out submitted files after you submit them.
   - Associate the changelist with a job and set the job status upon submit. To learn more about jobs, see Use jobs for defect tracking.
   - Perform a diff on a file pending submission by right-clicking the file and selecting Diff Against Have Revision. To learn more, see Compare files using diff.
3. Optional) Click Save to save your changelist options without checking in files.
4. Click Submit to check in your files.
