Creating and Managing Branches

Creating branches

You can create a branch from any Confluence page where you have create and edit permission.

1. Open the page in view mode.

2. Find the Page Branching byline action below the page title and click Create branch, or open the page action (...) menu and choose Create Branch.
   

   

3. Enter a branch name and confirm.
   

   

You are redirected to the new branch page. The branch keeps the original page’s emoji and header image, and a branch icon in the byline shows that you are working on a branch. Edit it like any other Confluence page – the original page is not changed until you merge.

Managing branches on the original page

On an original (non-branch) page, the byline shows how many branches exist. Open the branch list to:

• Navigate to a branch

• See branch status at a glance

• Merge or delete a branch
