Team Foundation Server check-out not showing for team mates

Question

Came across a small issue. Working with TFS VS 2012. The issue relates to seeing Check-out. Basically, if someone from my team check-out a file from TFS, I am able to see that they've checked it out -- under Pending Change , and USER However, If I check something out, they aren't able to see it.

Does anyone have any idea what could be the issue?

Answer 1

@StingyJack is correct. Pending changes of team members who use local workspaces are not visible to other team members in Source Control Explorer. It seems you are using local workspace, while other team members are using server workspace.
