TFVC Policies Storage Updates - Azure DevOps Blog
Briefly

The article discusses the upcoming changes to TFVC check-in policies, detailing a phased migration process scheduled from April to September 2025. Phase I allows users to opt-in and begin migration through Visual Studio by replacing obsolete policies. In Phase II, scheduled for August 2025, the ability to save these obsolete policies will be disabled, while they remain readable. Finally, Phase III, in September 2025, will see the complete disabling of obsolete policies. Users must ensure their Visual Studio is updated to avoid disruption during this transition.
Phase I of the migration process, which takes place in April 2025, allows users to opt-in and begin transitioning from obsolete check-in policies to active ones.
By August 2025, the ability to save obsolete check-in policies will be disabled, although reading these policies will continue to be possible to maintain workflow.
In September 2025, Azure DevOps will no longer support obsolete check-in policies entirely, marking the final phase of policy adaptation and transitions.
It's crucial for project administrators to ensure Visual Studio is up to date prior to starting the migration process for TFVC check-in policies.
