Deleting a Branch

Permanently delete a branch from a versioned application when it is no longer needed. Common reasons include finishing a feature after publishing or abandoning work on a branch.

Warning: Deleting a branch is permanent and cannot be undone. Any changes on the branch that have not been published or merged are lost.

Delete a Branch

Deleting a branch requires delete permission on the application.

To delete a branch:

1. In the module toolbar, click the checkout pill.
2. Select Manage Versions.
3. On the branch to delete, select (ellipsis) > Delete Branch. If the branch has unmerged changes, a warning displays the number of changes that will be lost permanently.
4. Review the warning, then click Delete Branch to confirm.

A confirmation message displays. If the deleted branch was the active working context, the platform navigates to the most recently published version automatically.

Unmerged Changes Warning

Before deleting, the platform counts how many items on the branch differ from its base version. If the branch has unmerged changes, the confirmation dialog displays a message like "This branch has 3 unmerged changes that are not in v1.0.0. Deleting it will discard those changes permanently."

Review this count carefully. To keep those changes, publish or merge the branch first.
