How Do You Use Figma Branching?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 12:48 am

Figma is a vector graphics editor and design tool, developed by Figma, Inc. It is available in a web browser and as a desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Figma is used by designers at Google, Facebook, Uber, Airbnb, Twitter, and many other companies.

Figma has a unique feature called “branching” that allows you to work on multiple versions of a design at the same time. This is especially useful when you’re working on a team project and need to make sure everyone is seeing the latest version of the design.

PRO TIP: Branching in Figma is a great way to manage different versions of your design. However, it’s important to use it sparingly and only when absolutely necessary. Overuse of branching can lead to a lot of confusion and complexity in your design project.

To use branching in Figma, simply click on the “Branch” button in the top-right corner of the screen. This will create a new branch of your design that you can work on without affecting the original. Once you’re happy with your changes, you can merge your branch back into the main design.

Branching is an essential part of collaborating on design projects in Figma. It allows you to make changes to your designs without affecting the work of others, and makes it easy to keep everyone up-to-date with the latest version.
