Is it possible to merge two workspaces that weren't created by branching?

Is it possible to merge two workspaces that weren't created by branching? Everything I can find about merging workspaces presumes the "source" originated as a branch from the "target"; nothing (I've found so far) explicitly rules out merging from two separate workspace documents, but I can't seem to find a tool that enables this.

We only have merging within the same document.

@wesley_church, I'm not sure what your intent is, but if you're trying to bring multiple parts into the same part studio that can be done via Derived. If you're trying to merge features, as @lana mentioned, that can't be done across documents. However, Derived can also import sketches, surfaces, curves, and mate connectors, which would facilitate recreating features.

Thanks @mahir, but before I took the time to study up on branching, I had just made a workspace copy to try adding some additional parts to a complex assembly.  The experiment worked, so I was looking to see if I could merge the new workspace back into the original.  @Lana's post was the direct answer to my question.  Now I know about creating branches, etc. to experiment with approaches as I learn OnShape.

No problem. Happy modeling!
