Best practice to handle Accepting Changeset without affecting the Local Changes

Hello Team, 


Generally, If we get any Incoming Changes will accept it and the incoming files will merge with the Local changes and the local files will modify. In other words, Incoming files will come with the conflicts in same file/line. We have to accept the incoming changes and we have to modify to local changes. Is there any best practice to handle Incoming changes and How to handle the Accepting Changeset without affecting the Local Changes.

Regards,
Kiran

Make sure before you do an Accept that you checkin all your local changes, and complete all those change sets, to ensure that any merges that are performed are placed in separate change sets.   Then you can easily discard those merge change sets, if you want to revert back to the local changes. 

If you did checkin, but neglected to complete the change sets before accepting, the state of the local changes will still exist in the change set details, so you can still obtain a copy.
