Duplicate TFS Query in Visual Studio's Team Explorer

Just a quick post on how to duplicate TFS Queries. In my environment, I don't have permission to add columns to the Shared Queries, but I can edit my own queries. Instead of creating my own version of the Product Back Log from scratch, I wanted to duplicate the query as my own. It turns out that it is as easy as copying the query and pasting the query to the "My Queries" folder.


If you paste to the same directory or there is a name collision, you will be prompted to enter a new name.


Incredibly easy, but not obvious. I am surprised how many things I can do from the Team Explorer panel. It makes life much easier.
