Create a new branch:
![plasticscm_en_work_09_creating_new_branch.png plasticscm_en_work_09_creating_new_branch.png]()
Fill in the name and description, and select the bottom checkbox:
![plasticscm_en_work_10_creating_new_branch_name.png plasticscm_en_work_10_creating_new_branch_name.png]()
The new branch was created:
![plasticscm_en_work_11_creating_new_branch_done.png plasticscm_en_work_11_creating_new_branch_done.png]()
Now you can make your changes:
![plasticscm_en_work_12_modify_form1.png plasticscm_en_work_12_modify_form1.png]()
Go to Pending Changes view, and refresh using the semi-circular arrow on the left:
![plasticscm_en_work_13_PendingChanges_form1.png plasticscm_en_work_13_PendingChanges_form1.png]()
Regenerate text versions for Pending Changed files:
![plasticscm_en_work_14_PendingChanges_form1_regenerate_text.png plasticscm_en_work_14_PendingChanges_form1_regenerate_text.png]()
And refresh the Pending Changes view, which now shows the generated text file:
![plasticscm_en_work_15_PendingChanges_form1_refresh.png plasticscm_en_work_15_PendingChanges_form1_refresh.png]()
Then finally checkin and open Branch Explorer:
![plasticscm_en_work_16_BranchExplorer_form1.png plasticscm_en_work_16_BranchExplorer_form1.png]()
Now you want to add this functionality to the next release v2_0, so let’s create a new branch for the release v2_0 from the last on production:
![plasticscm_en_work_17_New_Branch_Release_v2_0.png plasticscm_en_work_17_New_Branch_Release_v2_0.png]()
And now merge your work branch (pay attention at where is the home icon):
![plasticscm_en_work_18_Merge_Branch_into_Release_v2_0.png plasticscm_en_work_18_Merge_Branch_into_Release_v2_0.png]()
You can see a new tab with a new merge view with the items about to merge:
![plasticscm_en_work_19_Merge_View.png plasticscm_en_work_19_Merge_View.png]()
Then click the “process all merges” button at the top, and because this merge is automatic (nobody else has made changes) you can close this view using the (x) on the right of the tab:
![plasticscm_en_work_20_Merge_View_Finished.png plasticscm_en_work_20_Merge_View_Finished.png]()
On the Branch Explorer view you can see a dotted green line indicating that the merge is not finished yet:
![plasticscm_en_work_21_Merge_View_Pending.png plasticscm_en_work_21_Merge_View_Pending.png]()
Because you must verify and confirm the changes (or revert them) in the Pending Changes view:
![plasticscm_en_work_22_PendingChanges_view.png plasticscm_en_work_22_PendingChanges_view.png]()
Now you confirm the changes and get back to Branch Explorer view:
![plasticscm_en_work_23_BranchExplorer_view.png plasticscm_en_work_23_BranchExplorer_view.png]()
Congratulations! Your changes are on the release!
