## 9.7. Creating a Branch

It is possible to modify two or more copies of an object under version control concurrently using a feature called branching. Branching allows the otherwise linear version of an ancestor tree to fork. Each branch will have its own corresponding object in the repository that can be independently checked out and modified.

To create a branch:

1. Select the object (the object does not need to be checked out), then select (Edit) > Versioning > Create Branch. This opens the Create Branch dialog box.

2. Choose a version to branch from.

3. Click Browse to specify a destination folder for the branch.

4. Specify whether to check out the new object or not.

5. Click OK.
