Figma Branches Best Practices

Jason Occhipinti

A summary of the article

The Veneer team explores how Figma’s branching feature—exclusive to Enterprise customers—can transform collaboration when paired with strong communication practices. Drawing from their own experience, they outline practical best practices for opening and merging branches, offering both tactical tips and organizational guidance. By filling a gap in the conversation around Figma branching, the article provides teams with a roadmap to avoid confusion, minimize lost work, and streamline workflows. Its impact was significant, garnering high engagement and recognition from Figma itself.

Highlight

“With solid communication, Figma branches can speed up your workflow, alleviate confusion, mitigate lost work, and get your team working closer together.”

Timeline

  1. Nominations will be open from Tuesday 13 May. If you have any questions about the nomination process, then check out the FAQs, or if your question isn't answered, please get in touch at community@zeroheight.com

  2. Once the nominations are closed, we'll be collating the longlist and working through it to determine a shortlist. The shortlist will be determined by the team at zeroheight, and will be based on uniform judging criteria (which we will share in a month or two). With the shortlist creation, we aim to remove as much bias as possible and give everyone a fair chance across the board.

  3. In September, the shortlist will be announced, including public voting! We'll notify all folks as to whether they made the shortlist. The judges will then individually judge each shortlisted entry. We'll also have public voting on each category live on the site!

  4. Once all the judges and public votes are counted, we'll then be able to determine the winner for each category, based off a weighted compilation of votes.

  5. In December, we'll gather the community together at an event in London to announce the winners live. We'll also be live-streaming the ceremony for those who can't make it. The live event will be invite only, but we'll offer the community a chance to apply for a ticket later in the year! We'll also post the results to the zeroheight site the day after the event.
