Sharepoint workflow deployed, but not showing up - workflow

I have a sharepoint workflow that I created in VS2010, and I've deployed it through the web interface to my sharepoint 2010 environment. The ui says that it's been deployed, and it is activated on my site. If I look in my site features, I do see the entry for it and everything looks good. But when I go to any of my lists to try to add it in, it isn't showing up... it has to be something easy that I'm missing, does anyone have any thoughts? Thanks for the help!

I did finally find what the issue was... for me, when I went to the workflow settings on a list, I had to hit the drop down for item type and choose item instead of all. Once I did that, the workflow showed up for me to select it.

Go to the List | Worklfow Settings page and select the link "Remove Workflow"
When that loads, see if the workflow is set to "Allow New Instances", if not, make it so and see if that gets things running for you again.

How to unview/toggle all the Viewed files on GitHub Pull Request?

I know I can manually go to PR and uncheck Viewed. Is there a shortcut to uncheck on all files in the PR?
Found some relevant issues on GitHub
https://github.com/refined-github/refined-github/issues/2444
Why I want to do it?
To be able to see the comments and expand the cards which are collapsed because I manually marked viewed.
I tried Option+Click on Mac , didn't work for me.
Don't think the UI currently supports that. It looks like you need to tick, all checkboxes manually. Or come up with a JavaScript to find and click them for you.
Try that in your browser console.
document.getElementsByName("viewed").forEach(ch => {if(ch.checked) {ch.click()}})

Release pipelines not visible on Azure DevOps page

I can view all features except Release pipelines which is showing empty screen for me as shown below. I have tried different browsers such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, both showing empty screen. I have verified that I have full access permissions and Visual Studio subscription also. Let me know if you ever faced such issue and a solution for this. Thanks.
You could troubleshoot this issue by checking following steps.
Go to Organization Settings>>Users page to check if your access level, make sure that you are not StakeHolder.
Go to this Project Settings>>Permissions>>Users tab to find you, and check which groups that you belong to. Usually members of Contributors group can freely access to releases page.
Check if others in the same group have the same issue, or just you have this issue.
Try this in other computers to check if there are some plugins or extensions which cause this issue.
If you are behind firewall or proxy, please check if the requests are blocked. You could click F12 to check the browser network requests.
BTW, we find that there are service events, which might causes this issue, you could monitor it.

Can't add New Work Items from the Sprint View in Boards

Host Details:
OS Editon: Azure Devops server 2016
OS Build: 1607
Azure DevOps Details:
AZ server: 2019
The issue:
For one Team Project, we are requiring to have three different sub-area paths so we can place work accordingly for each team Properly to follow it.
The three sub-areas were created as follow:
and visible are visible from Bords:
But, and here the issue, the Button for creating New Work Item now is Disabled, as shown below:
Also
How could re-enable this button?
We use this button at daily basis to create New Tasks or as required, is so weird that enabling one functionality we lost other.
It’s possible your workflow has the work item disabled. Check your process and see if the work item type is disabled. Also on the ribbon next to View as Board, hover and click, it will give you a more detailed error message.
If the work item is disabled you will see this message.
Solved by myself
Hello Martin, thanks for reaching me out so swiftly,
I did found the issue, due to a lack in Azure DevOps documentation didn't know that when creating a new Team Project have to create the extra teams within the Project before anything else, and then is that can proceed to add define the sub-area paths in the Boards Section and then is when is possible to have First multiple teams within a team project and Second have enabled the Work Items Button for each team sprint:
See for example this MS official documentation how they don't make any clarification of it: {{ https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/organizations/settings/about-areas-iterations?view=azure-devops }} :
Also here {{ https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/organizations/settings/set-area-paths?view=azure-devops&tabs=browser }} :
So MS docs miss that point completaly!
Solved each team is an independent unit and for that each will have their own setup,
Once that is corrected all works fine

Azure DevOps: Adding team members to a new team/area

I have created a new Team/Area under our project within Azure DevOps.
When I send the URL for the backlog, the team members are able to access the link but not see any of the work items.
I have tried the following:
Confirm the user has Basic licence.
Confirm the user has access to the project.
Added the user to the Team for that area.
Is there anything obvious I am missing?
I am pretty confident this is not a bug, but just something in the process of giving users access that I am not doing.
Any help very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Alasdair.

This could be caused by multiple reasons which means we might need to check several setttings.
Choose the right team in BackLogs page:
check the Project Settings-Team configuration-Areas, make sure the target Team area has been added:
Check Project Settings - Permissions and make sure your team has
the right permission to see the BackLogs Itmes.
Is this something that I need to set every time I create a new team?
No, you don't have to set them every time. When you create a team,
the Permissions setting could be automatically inherited:

How to Assign task in VSTS Online

I have created my account in Visual Studio Team Services, and added the team members as well. I am able to see the uses got added.
But I cannot see them when I tried to assign work for them. Everybody's acccess level including me, is Basic and I have added them as Project Contributors, and me in Project Administrators group.
When I tried to create a new work item (new feature), on the Unassigned text box, no users name is popping up.
Any idea where I am going wrong? Please provide any suggestion.
The work item control is changed to a MRU control, so people you care about most show up immediately. Since you never assign tasks before, you would see "No identities found" in the drop down:
You can type the user name and then click "Search" in the drop down:
Then you'll see the user:
