Branching and merging in Figma lets you work on design changes separately without affecting the main file. This helps teams try new ideas safely and then combine the best changes back into the main design.
When you want to try a new design idea without changing the original file
When multiple team members need to work on different parts of a design at the same time
When you want to review changes before adding them to the main design
When you need to fix a bug or update a design without interrupting ongoing work
When preparing different versions of a design for client review
