How to edit work item details

When do you edit work item details in DevOps Center? When you need to update them because something has changed—for example, the acceptance criteria. Without these updates, you can’t provide sufficient value to your team. For instance, if you want to start work on an unassigned work item, assign it to yourself so the rest of the team knows you’re working on it. Or if you identify new acceptance criteria, edit the description to make sure the assigned team member is aware of the change. Here’s how to edit work item details in DevOps Center:

1. From the Projects page, click the name of the appropriate project. This opens the Work Items tab, where you can see a list of everything that your team is currently working on.
2. Locate the work item you want to edit and click its ID to open it. It will open in the Changes tab.
3. Edit the fields as needed.
   1. In the Changes tab, you can choose a different development environment—so long as you haven't committed any changes for the work item from the current development environment.
   2. Switch to the Details tab to edit the Subject, Descriptiopn, or Assigned to fields.
