# Work with requests

This topic describes how to work with requests using the Git Client IDE plugin for Visual Studio.

## Display and open requests

You can view requests in your inbox for the current Dimensions CM stream.

To display an open request:

1. In Visual Studio, select View > Team Explorer.
2. Open the Dimensions CM repository that contains the changes.

3. Click Changes or Git Changes and expand Dimensions Requests.

   The Dimensions Requests section displays the requests in your inbox. You can sort, filter, and search for requests.

   Visual Studio 2022: You can have multiple repositories open at the same time. If you have opened more than one repository, select the relevant repository from the list.

4. If you are starting work on a request that is not in your inbox, you can display all the requests in the current stream. To view all requests, click More requests.

5. To open a request, right-click the request and select Open.

   Dimensions CM requests open in the Dimensions CM web client. External requests open in their relevant provider instance such as ALM Octane, Jira, or SBM.
