Not easily. Why do you want to do this?

When I want to modify files in an outgoing folder,then I think the files should not be in an outgoing folder, and it's better I put them back to unsolved folder to make all changes. After that, I can re-check modified files into an outgoing folder again to deliver them.
Just a thought.
Another question is what a suspend folder is? why do we use it?
Thanks,

Hi,
unresolved changes are not checked in - they live on your local machine only. You check them in and they are outgoing in your private repository workspace on the server.
If you want to back out changes for instance to do changes and keep these changes separate, you can suspend the changes. This pulls the source code changes out and stores them as suspended on the server.
You can then do other changes, check them in and deliver. Once you want to work on the suspended changes again, you resume them and they are pulled back in.
I assume that is what you had in mind initially.
