You can use Paligo's merge feature to combine content from two different branched topic versions. This is useful when you have an existing "live" topic and you need to work on some updates separately.
If you move existing content into a new section
element and making it a subsection. Paligo will recognize the moved content as deleted content in its original position and the new position as new content.
To merge a branched topic into a "Live" version:
-
Make sure that the "Live" version and the branch are checked in and have the status Work in progress.
-
Select the Dotted menu (...) for the "merge from" branch in Content Manager
-
Select Branching and choose Merge Branch.

-
Paligo provides you with a preview of the changes divided in two columns. Left column shows the Merge target and right column shows the Merge from branch.
Color highlights show the changes:
-
Red - This content will be deleted from the "Merge target" and is grayed out in the "Merge from" column.
-
Green - This content is new or changed that will be added to the "Merge target". It only exists in the "Merge from" branch at the moment.
-
-
Choose what to include or exclude from the merge.
-
Accept the change by leaving it highlighted.
