Shelf tab
This tab is added to the Version Control tool window Alt+9 when you shelve a change or a changelist, and is displayed until you permanently remove all shelved changes, including the already unshelved ones, and imported external patches.
By default, this tab shows all shelved changes that have not been unshelved yet. Changes are grouped into shelves. A shelf is a changelist created when you shelve changes. A shelf is identified by the commit message. You can have DataGrip show the unshelved changes. They can be restored and re-applied as many times as necessary, until they are removed permanently.
For more information, refer to Shelve or stash changes.
