Anyone who has access to the main branch has the ability to see other branches.

Can you create a branch of a branch?

You can create multiple branches off of the main file, but you can't make a branch of a branch.

What happens if there are changes to main while working in a branch?

Users in the branch will receive a notification (much like a library update) that there have been updates and they can update their file from main.

Can libraries be published from a branch?

It is not currently possible to publish from a branch.

Who can approve and merge changes from a branch?

Merging can only done by those who have editor access on the main file. Viewers who created a branch will need to reach out to an editor to have the branch reviewed and merged.

What happens to comments when a branch is merged and/or archived?

Open and resolved comments stay connected with the branch they were created in and will not merge into the main file. After a branch has merged and archived, you can open the branch to view any comments in it.
