  • Navigate to the folder Red Gate\SQL Source Control 6
  • Open the file RedGate_SQLSourceControl_CommonUI_UIOptions.xml
  • Add a new tag inside the root UIOptions
    <DisableAutoRefresh>True</DisableAutoRefresh>
  • Save the file
  • Restart SSMS

Known Limitations

  • The list of changes always refreshes automatically when switching to a different database in the Object Explorer
  • The list of changes always get refreshed after a commit or get latest
