Work across projects

Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2022 - Azure DevOps Server 2019

When you work on several projects, you can use select pages to support your cross-project work. These pages provide quick access and filter functions to support your work within a single project or work you're doing across several projects.

For more information, see Switch project, repository, or team or Work across projects FAQs.

For example, you can quickly access and navigate to the following artifacts defined across projects.

  • Projects: Projects defined for an organization in Azure DevOps
  • Work items: Work items assigned to you
  • Pull requests: Pull requests you initiated or that are relevant to you across all team projects you work in
  • Favorites: Artifacts—such as projects, teams, repositories, shared queries, and more—that you favorited
