Branch taskbar

The branch taskbar is incorporated in applications that integrate with Global Branching. The taskbar signals to users that they are operating in the context of a branch.

From the taskbar, you can view your active branch, switch between branches, examine modified resources, and navigate each stage of the proposal creation, review, and merging workflow.

The branch taskbar is displayed as a blue bar at the bottom of supported applications.

Create proposals and merge changes

The Create proposal option generates a proposal for the existing branch. Once created, you can navigate to it by selecting View proposal. When all checks have passed, the Merge proposal option will be enabled.
