๐ฟ Branches replace the mode switch
update
The branch selector now replaces the Production/Development mode switch in the Development workspace. Select master to view Production, or select any other branch to keep working on your changes. One control, no mode to toggle first.
Why this changeโ
Production has always been the master branch. The old switch presented it as a separate mode, which made the workspace harder to explain than it needed to be. Folding it into the branch selector brings three benefits:
- One mental model: Everything is a branch.
masteris what your end-users see, and every other branch is where you work on changes. - Cleaner layout: The mode switch is gone, so the Development workspace has one less control to think about.
- Faster navigation: Switch straight from
masterto any development branch, with no mode change in between.
What's changingโ
The Production/Development toggle has been removed. In its place:
masteris Production. It holds the finalized, read-only version of your project that end-users see in Reporting. Selectmasterto view Production.- Every other branch is Development. Create a branch from
masterto make changes without touching Production. When you're ready, publish tomasterto bring your changes live.
Your workflow stays the same: branch off master, commit as you go, and publish when you're done. For the full picture, see Development mode, Production mode and deployment.
