# Pending changes tab reference

> From the Unity Editor, explore the project files that you've added and modified locally.

The **Pending Changes** tab displays new and changed files in your local version of the project. Use this tab to check in your files to the UVCS workspace, exclude files from version control and compare changed files with the previously checked-in version.

The **Pending Changes** tab has the following available elements. To add and remove fields from the table, right-click the table header and select the fields you want to show.
