Version control and branching

When opening a Grid, the Master is displayed by default (this is displayed in the header).

Grids can be branched to enable version control and allow testing to be performed in isolation.

Creating a Branch

To create a branch:

1. In the header, click Master to view the drop-down menu.

2. Select Create New Branch.

3. The Create Branch popup box displays the Grid and version this branch will branch from.

4. Enter a Branch name.

5. Click Save.

6. The new branch will be displayed and will be added to the list of available versions in the header drop-down menu.

The branch selected in the header drop-down menu is the one where changes are being made.

Merging a Branch

To merge a branch with the master branch:

1. Click on the right sidebar and select Merge Branch icon.

2. View changes if necessary. The records and the content that have been edited will be highlighted in one of the colors: blue (updated), red (deleted), green (added).

3. Select one of the Merge options - Add & Update, Update, Add, Override.

4. Click Merge.
