# Creating a subbranch from a commit

Create a branch from a commit. Learn more in [Committing changes](paz_commit_changes.html).

## About this task

This subbranch is a child of the branch from which the commit was selected. The subbranch shares the history and contents of the parent branch up to that commit.

## Steps

1. Go to Branch Manager → Version Control.

2. Select the commit from which to branch.

   To branch from the latest uncommitted changes, make certain to commit before proceeding.

3. Click the hamburger menu and select Create new branch from commit.

4. Specify a name for the branch.

5. Click Save Branch.

## Result

The system creates a new subbranch with the selected commit as the branch point.
