Search and Refactor Operations Scope

The scope is a collection of documents that define the context of a search and refactor operation. To control it you can use the Change scope operation, available in the Quick Fix action set or on the Resource Hierarchy/Dependency View toolbar. You can restrict the scope to the current project or to one or multiple working sets. The Use only Master Files, if enabled checkbox allows you to restrict the scope of the search and refactor operations to the resources from the Master Files directory. Click read more for details about the Master Files support.

Change Scope Dialog Box

The scope you define is applied to all future search and refactor operations until you modify it. Contextual menu actions allow you to add or delete files, folders, and other resources to the working set structure.
