Description

Updates the editor branch guide for the new pull request-backed workflow.

  • Explain automatic draft pull request creation and Git autosaves
  • Document bringing or leaving pending changes when branching
  • Clarify branch visibility, previews, and review flow

Test Plan

  • npx mint@latest validate
  • Review the branching guide preview

Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only change to a single MDX guide with no product or security impact.

Overview
Rewrites Branching and publishing for the editor’s pull request-backed workflow instead of the older publish/save matrix tied to branch protection.

Autosave and Git: Feature-branch edits now autosave to Mintlify and Git and refresh the draft PR and preview without clicking Publish. The deployment branch still needs Publish (or main branch autocommits) to reach Git and production.

Branches: Creating a branch opens a draft pull request automatically; the doc adds visibility rules (only deployment branch and PR-backed branches in the selector) and keeps the bring-or-leave pending changes step when branching.

Removed or slimmed: The branch-type vs protection action table, separate “when to use a branch” guidance, the note about unpublished changes when switching branches, and simultaneous publishing per branch.

Review flow: PR titles/descriptions are created at draft open (editable in the branch menu or Git host), not only at publish; previews are tied to editor saves on branches rather than manual “save to feature branch.”
