Feature in focus: Live-Branches and Other Tutorials
After various interactions with our customers, we discovered that, due to the many activities surrounding the release of new products like Polarion QA or Polarion REVIEWER, customers sometimes miss features that might be highly beneficial. We understand that we need to draw more attention to these features and so today, we are focusing on Live-Branching.
Live-Branch can help solve the problems that customers face during the management of both specification documents and/or individual requirements. With Live-Branch’s unique feature of branching and freezing a selected set of Work Items, customers can save loads of time when managing isolated copies of Documents. You never need to go back and copy/paste every change of your common specification. Additionally, it enables you to easily control the reuse of requirements and the way granular changes are propagated to your variants.
To learn more about Live Branch, check out our recent tutorial video. Afterwards, browse our current tutorial video catalog, and you might just discover other useful Polarion features you may have missed!
