Create Branches during Translation

When you have sent content for translation, it is important that you do not make any further changes to the Source Language version. If you do, then the translation will not align with the source language, as the translation will not include the changes you have made.

To make updates to the Source Language content, you will need to create a branch to continue working during translation. A branch is a separate version of the content, with different IDs so that you can make changes without affecting the original version.

Depending on what you need to change and how you want to manage your content, you can create different types of branches, see Choose the Appropriate Branching Method .

Note

If the original version had reused elements in it, these will also be reused in the branch and so will keep their existing IDs. If you change these, your changes will apply to those elements in the original branch too (and anywhere else they are used).
