Branch for updating Dev Mode Annotation

Hi Community & Figma team,

we are using branching to keep track of changes in files. Furthermore, we would like to use the Dev Mode annotations. However we noticed, that it is not possible to merge a branch that only has changes to annotations.

However, this is necessary in case a ticket of us only contains changes to document for developer resources linking etc.

Would it be possible to see changes also as changes to the file to be able to track & branch them properly?

All the best
Mikka
