Changing branch type

You can change the workspace branch owner or convert workspace branches to baseline branches. For example, a developer starts working on a feature in her workspace branch but realizes it will require more time to complete than originally planned. In this case, you can change the user’s workspace branch to a baseline branch so other developers can access the code or change the branch owner so another user can complete the work.
