At the Pending Changes tab in the Team Explorer in Visual Studio 2107, click on Pending Changes to pick one of the other top tier menu items of the Team Explorer.

You don't have to go back to the "Home" view for everything as it turns out. A little menu of items, such as "Builds" for example, will materialize when you take this step. At Builds you may click Builds to similarly go back to Pending Changes. (Builds shows you if the most recent build passed or failed.)
