Can't merge my own approved branch

I created a branch as usual, asked for review, got approved, and now instead of the “merge” button it says that I must have editor permission to merge. Which is odd, because I created the branch and everything, I obviously have editor’s permission (I even went to check if I did). I had to ask a collegue to merge it for me.

The same issue. Refreshing tab doesn’t help.

    I have a branch in which I’ve made numerous updates. I am now trying to merge the branch back into the main document. It tells me “Conflicts with [file] must be resolved to merge this branch” – but there are no conflicts listed. There are a lot of elements with tags of “Added”, “Edited,” “Removed” – but none of these have any visible or flagged conflicts. Is this purely a bug? And is there a way to bypass this? I could send it to an approver for review but that was my only option.

      Hello, seems I’m experiencing the same issue, I can’t merge, After clicking “merge without approval” (file is mine so no approval needed) the file is not responding for some time and nothing merged after it’s back

      hello, same issue. I created this file and don’t seem to have permissions to merge.

      Edited: It’s a year later (2024) and I can still count on this issue to dependably happen. Main file lists me as owner and I’m being denied when trying to merge a branch.

        The issue just happened to me today.

        I am the product lead at my company.
        I am the owner of the file.
        I created the branch.
        And i cannot merge without asking a fellow designer to approve my changes.
        I also couldn’t address a conflict with the main file (no buttons appeared allowing me to select the main or the branch).
