Source Control Explorer is what I have used in the past to manage my Team Foundation version control (TFVC).

In Visual Studio 2019 (and earlier verions), you could open Source Control Explorer by navigating to View | Other Windows | Source Control Explorer. However, this window can't be found here in VS2022.

Has this functionality been completely removed or is there still a way to access Source Control Explorer using Visual Studio 2022?

Follow below steps to add the TFS server:

  • Manage Connections -> Connect to a project option in the Team Explorer (use View -> Team Explorer if not available) and connect to the project.
  • Click Add Azure DevOps Server, input tfs server URL and choose Add.
  • Then the list of projects you have access will be listed below, select a project and connect.

Then the Source control menu option will be made available in the usual place View | Other Windows | Source Control Explorer.

These are the steps from Visual Studio Professional 2022

Use Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2022 only when Visual studio Developer not installed.

You're probably looking for the Team Explorer.

Yes, Cloud Explorer which is in Visual studio 2019 as shown below, has been retired in Visual Studio 2022

Instead, we can use the following alternatives mentioned here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/azure/vs-azure-tools-resources-managing-with-cloud-explorer?view=vs-2022

    You seem to have posted a valid answer, but it lacks something important. A link to another site could be not enough for our quality standards. Instead if you post a succint explanation of what could be found on the link posted then we can be sure that your answer will be useful even if the link disappears – Steve Mar 30 '22 at 11:27
