If you need to suspend work that is in progress, or isolate work into a dedicated stream, you can shelve the changes from a work area into a topic stream.
Key Facts
Shelving is based on the content of a local work area, not a repository.
Shelving hides changes so that they are only visible to you and the users you share the stream with.
After you have shelved changes you can optionally do one of the following:
Reset the work area to set aside the changes and use it for other work.
Rehome the work area to switch it from the original stream to a new topic stream.
You can restore earlier shelved changes to the other stream’s work area by merging the changes via a work area.
You can continue work in the topic stream created by shelving by using its own work area.
