Confirm Changes Window

The major task of the Confirm Changes window is to give you control over renaming JavaScript identifiers. The JavaScript language structure does not always permit complete certainly when determining whether two elements are in fact references to the same identifier or if they just have the same name. The Confirm Changes window appears when the Rename refactoring is about to be applied, and enables you to ensure that only the desired references will be renamed. You can omit a reference that should not be renamed by clearing the check from the appropriate item.

The toolbar of the Confirm Changes window includes the following items.

The Confirm Changes window can be used to preview and manage the references being changed by any cascading refactoring in C# or Visual Basic code as well. To show this window when applying refactorings in languages other than JavaScript, check the “Show Confirm Changes window when confirmable changes exist” checkbox on the Confirm Changes options page.
