Review changes from main visually in branch

The current flow for updating branches from main file assumes that I will ‘Apply Changes’ after I have resolved conflicts. This is not always the case. In several cases simply getting a a visual overview of what could be affected is what I need to see.

The placement of the Next (Once conflict resolution method has been added) and the following “Apply changes button” is right on top eachother.

Several posts already have mentioned the need to select individually what should be applied even if there is no conflict. This would be a very welcome feature, and would allign with general practise for branching in software development.

Hi there! Thanks for sharing your feedback about Branching. We will pass it along to our team for consideration.

After checking internally with the team , the ‘Next button once conflicts’ and ‘Apply changes’ button you mentioned seems like a bug. Our team would like to investigate it further.

Can you please reach out directly to the support team with a copy of your file: here
