I’m planning to use the branching feature a bit differently. I want to use them as a milestone tracker for specific reviews. So whenever we have a review, I’d create a branch with that specific date and maybe delete all pages / artboards that wouldn’t be relevant to that review topic.
Benefits:
- This way we have a frozen version in place that we can later reference.
- We are still connected with all components, but won’t get any live updates.
- We don’t risk anything breaking when copy/pasting in another file.
- It’s a lot less effort to create a fixed milestone rather than copy/pasting.
Disadvantages:
- We won’t be able to use branching as a regular feature since mixing these metaphors doesn’t really work.
- Having each review as a separate “file” might slow down the project? Not sure about that.
Are there any other drawbacks I might need to consider or what do you think about the idea in general?
