Branching
Branching (or Versioning) allows to host several versions of an API Specification on the same documentation.
Branches are a great solution for existing documentation that could need several versions. Instead of creating new documentation in your hub (for an updated version of your API specification for example), branching allows your users to switch from one version of your documentation to another easily.
You may imagine using branching to maintain several versions of your API specifications, for users still on a legacy version.
We can also imagine API documentation using branching for a production environment and a testing one.
Visually, documentation readers will see the available branches from which they can switch as seen in the screenshot below:
From your Dashboard, select the documentation you would like to add a new version.
Then select Branches and type its new name.
From your Dashboard > Documentation, select Branches and the one you would like to rename or delete.
Deleting a branch is definitive: you will lose the branch, its content and deployment history.
When uploading a new version of your API specification, you can choose which branch will receive the update.
