Fork a topic

If some Branches are unavailable for you, you must fork the topic and create a new instance. The changes you make will only appear in the Branches you select.

1. For the topic, click .

   The Fork & Edit dialog appears. All the available Branches are selected by default. This means that changes you make to the topic will appear in the new instance of the topic you create for these available Branches.

2. (Optional): Select or deselect Branches to change which Branches the topic is forked in.
   Note: You cannot select all Branches If the topic is in Done status (or the equivalent final status in your deployment). You can cancel the fork and then move the topic to Work status first before editing it in all Branches. Or you must deselect Branches to fork the topic in the rest of the Branches.
3. Click Next.

   A search appears showing all the top-level maps the topic is currently.

4. Do one of the following:
   • To pick a Context Map, click the radio button for it.
   • To edit the topic without a Context Map, click No context map.
5. Click Fork & Edit.
