May I know if this is in the pipeline? This feature is pretty much useless without the ability to select what to merge.

Merging is a chaotic in a file with a lot of pages and with more than one people working on. We should be able to merge only one page or component, with a option to lock or not lock a page or component when a branch is created.

No one from Figma seems to be on this thread but just wanted to add my +1 to this

Would love to be able selectively merge, just like we can selectively publish components

Well, well, well
Just upgrade to Organization for branches… what a deceptive move.
How can I not choose what to merge ???
————————————————————
I will keep branches without merging* as archives, and copy-paste what I keep to the truth file.

* like this, I hope that the saturation of servers with heavy weighted file will make Figma to hear us about this non-ecological method

+1 I’ve been trying out branches for my latest project. Coming from a development background, it does not work as expected. I thought I want just using it wrong, but it seems like from reading threads here that there just isn’t really deep functionality. It’s very hard to pick and choose specific elements to come forward into my branches, while not merging things that will ruin my branch for my specific situation. I currently don’t trust the results, and the lack of specificity makes this feature more or less unusable.

I don’t know what the excuse is for ignoring the community on this one. This is almost bare minimum functionality you would expect from a branching system in design software.

Is anyone in Figma actually using the branch feature? If yes, how did they not notice this issue? 🥴
