Branch resources
After you have branched a topic, you can go on to branch the resources it references.
- The root map must be open in the DITA Map view.
- All documents referring to the resource must be in a state that allows them to be branched.
- One parent topic containing the resource must already have been branched.
When you branch a resource the system creates a new, editable version in the Authoring cycle and gives it the status Authoring:work (or its equivalent in your workflow).
