We’re experimenting with using branching so designs that developers are referencing do not change. However, quite often everyone in the team include me, make unintended modifications to the main branch.


This is mostly because the designs are identical and tough to distinguish from one another. The names are often the only indicator for now which isn’t as noticeable.


Was wondering if it would be helpful to set a branch specific color for the work area. This way it would be easy to tell what branch one is in and if they should be making modifications or no.


Basically,

Ohh, I see a lot of red, I seem to be in the main branch, let’s be cautious

I see a lot of green, seems like I’m in the right branch

Hey @Dsouza_Trevor, thank you for your feedback! I do understand it would be beneficial to have different color canvas for the main and the branch.


You can change a background color by de-selecting any layers and using the color picker from the Background section of the right sidebar.

Thanks @Gayani_S I’m aware of being able to manually do this. What I meant with the idea was to have it automated due to the below reasons



  1. Currently, it needs to be done manually for each page. There are plug-ins though which help in this area

  2. It needs the designer to remember to change colors. It would be great if I could just “set” one branch as the “main branch” and any other branch automatically is a “WIP” branch. Colors could then be used to differentiate between the two.

  3. All the color changes show up during merging which is unnecessary noise.
