Cannot undo merging a branch

We merged a branch, but it merged with errors. We attempted to revert by choosing an earlier version from the version history, yet the branch remains in the “Merged” state. We tried the same approach with a test branch — merging it and then reverting to an earlier version of the same file, but experienced the same outcome: the changes roll back, but the branch still stays in the “Merged” state.

Hi ​@Olha.F, thanks for reaching out and sorry for the trouble with your branch! 

From what you’ve described, did you by any chance attempt to revert the changes from the main file’s version history, instead of from within the branch itself? 

And if so, when a branch is merged, it incorporates all changes from that branch into the main file. But if you want to revert to a previous state of the branch, you can:

  1. Make sure you have the branch open.

  2. Click on an empty spot in the canvas to deselect any layers.

  3. In the toolbar, click next to the file name.
  4. Select Show Version History.
  5. In the right sidebar, click  next to the “Before update” checkpoint.


This ensures that the reversion is applied specifically to the branch, rather than the main file. More info available in our Help Center Article here. 

Do this first then restore the version history of your main file to before the branch was merged. Then, you should be all set.
