Manage changelists
A changelist is a set of local changes that have not yet been committed to a VCS repository.
With changelists, you can group changes related to different tasks and commit these sets of changes independently. See Commit changes locally for details.
Changelists are displayed in the Local Changes view Initially, there is a single default changelist. It is called Changes, all new changes are automatically placed in this changelist. There is also an Unversioned Files changelist that groups newly created files that haven't been added to your VCS yet.
You can create as many changelists as needed and make any of them active at any moment. You can move any uncommitted changes to any changelist.
