• YuvalO Problems with Branching

  We are running Beta 3 Refresh and are having problems branching (which worked ok in Beta 2). I created a new folder and then clicked on my main folder (with multiple sub-folders underneath) and clicked Branch. I then choose to put the branch in my new directory I created.
