Managing branches

Decision Center enables branching so that you can manage the evolution of projects over time.

What are branches
When a branch is created, it contains an exact replica of every project element that is contained in its parent branch. You can then work on the subbranch without affecting the contents of the parent.
Snapshots
Snapshots capture the state of a branch at a specific moment in time.
Merging branches
In the Decision Center Business console, you can merge the content of branches, releases, and activities in a decision service.
Managing decision service branches
Use copy and delete functionality to manage the branches in a decision service. Work in Decision Center in either the Business console or REST API.
Deleting and recovering elements in branches
When you delete project elements from the current state of a branch, they are put in the recycle bin of that branch. You can restore those elements to your branch.
Generating a project report
You can generate reports in HTML format based on decision services, projects, or queries. These reports show the content and properties of deployed project elements.
