Feature spotlight

05 / branch and merge

Branch a page. Edit it. Merge it back.

Drafting a big change on a live page used to mean a copy nobody could find. Now you branch off the current version, work freely, and merge when it is ready.

The merge view shows a line-by-line diff so you decide what lands. Readers keep seeing the stable page until you publish.

  • 01 Branch from any version, including an older one.
  • 02 Edit in the html or markdown editor without touching the live page.
  • 03 Review the diff, resolve overlaps, and merge into the main page.
