Page branching

Now you can have multiple designers working in parallel on different pages with page branching.

Page branching

<p id="">Today we’re making it easier for design teams to build sites faster and safely explore new designs with page branching — a new feature that allows multiple designers to work on separate pages at the same time. Page branching is available today for <a href="<https://webflow.com/enterprise>" id="">Webflow Enterprise</a> customers and <a href="<https://experts.webflow.com/apply>" id="">Enterprise Partners</a>.</p><figure id="" class="w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-fullwidth" style="max-width:1200px" data-rt-type="image" data-rt-align="fullwidth" data-rt-max-width="1200px"><div id=""><img src="<https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/64f9399ca7d13575ff21a675/64f9399ca7d13575ff21d63ckSap7SyhaLJNunAPvsDbs9fsI9R8zKgSwn-QN-sQpcQ7mfo8K83VzCo2UB7y5vZEBkKUlgzU9QGNPWYxzXtAU-t3kBqQlkGuzr9Q11b06TtfSxgUMPkHXlk4vAII5CLdKOperzrjXp-0Y6ra2TKEMXCK0tvjOdlmR01xLFkEOxxXb7m6-1j0j2lpSw.jpeg>" id="" width="auto" height="auto" loading="auto" alt="Branch a page to work on it in isolation while your team publishes changes to the main site."></div><figcaption id="">Branch a page to work on it in isolation while your team publishes changes to the main site.</figcaption></figure><h2 id="">How it helps teams</h2><p id="">Up until now, growing teams have struggled to work on the same site in parallel. Page branching unlocks more efficient collaboration and lets you:</p><ul id=""><li id=""><strong id="">Build and ship faster</strong> → with multiple teammates working in the Designer at the same time, your team can ship more updates faster.</li><li id=""><strong id="">Increase team productivity </strong>→ stop staggering and scheduling design work across your team, or waiting for your turn – single-player in the Designer is now a thing of the past.</li><li id=""><strong id="">Safely explore new designs</strong> → work on a branched page in isolation without fear that your teammates will publish work-in-progress design changes.</li></ul><h2 id="">How page branching works</h2><figure class="w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-center" data-rt-type="image" data-rt-align="center"><div><img src="<https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/64f9399ca7d13575ff21a675/64f9399ca7d13575ff21d64aGroup%2068%20(1).jpg>" loading="lazy" alt="Build on page branches with existing classes and components, or create new classes."></div><figcaption>Build on page branches with existing classes and components, or create new classes.</figcaption></figure><p id="">Let’s say you’re on a team and you want to make changes to the homepage in isolation while the rest of your team edits and publishes the rest of the site. At a high level, here’s the new workflow you’ll be able to follow:</p><ol id=""><li id=""><strong id="">Branch. </strong>Create a branch of the homepage</li><li id=""><strong id="">Build.</strong> Build on that branch with existing classes and components, or create new styles</li><li id=""><strong id="">Update.</strong> Update the branch with the latest classes and components as the main project evolves</li><li id=""><strong id="">Merge.</strong> Merge the branch into the main project, replacing the original homepage</li><li id=""><strong id="">Publish.</strong> Publish the site with the updated homepage</li></ol><h2 id="">What’s next for page branching</h2><p id="">This is just the first step to improve the experience for teams of multiple designers using Webflow at the same time. Here’s a look at some of what we’ll be shipping in the future to make page branching workflows even more powerful:</p><ul id=""><li id="">Modify page settings and classes on branches</li><li id="">Manage conflicts that arise during merge</li><li id="">Enrich the <a href="<https://webflow.com/feature/site-activity-log>" id="">Site Activity log</a> with branch activity</li><li id="">Request reviews and approve branch changes before merging</li></ul><p id="">To learn more about unlocking page branching for your team, <a href="<https://webflow.com/enterprise#contact>" id="">get in touch with our sales team</a>.&nbsp;</p><p id="">For a detailed look at how branching works, check out our <a href="<https://university.webflow.com/lesson/page-branching>" id="">article on Webflow University</a> and join our <a href="<https://webflow.com/enterprise/events/how-to-build-and-ship-faster-with-page-branching>" id="">demo webinar</a> on December 8th, 2022.</p>
