Branching in Figma

As designers, we need open, collaborative workspaces that give us the freedom to explore and iterate without disturbing existing work. Now, with branching in Figma, you can have both. Branches are exploratory spaces that enable designers to safely try new ideas without making changes to the main, or existing, file. Rather than auto-saving to the main file, changes from branches are merged into the main file when you're ready.

This guide will cover some helpful tips, and highlight considerations for when branching may (or may not!) be appropriate in your individual or team workflow.
