Merge branches when tab has been moved to another document?
Normally I would say that Onshape is amazing in how it allows all kinds editing, branching, merging without fear of losing any work.
However, I've come across a tricky situation. Our team branched a document. I moved a part studio tab from the main workspace to another document. I assumed that the branched work would move with it, but now there's one part studio in one document and another in the first document - in the branch only. Now I'd like to merge those. I'm guessing that the only way is to move the part studio back to the original document, at least temporarily, in order to complete the merge.
Anyone have any experience with this situation?

Yeah I had a team member do that with a larger project not too long ago and it was something of a debacle trying to wrangle the logic and order of operations to merge things back into one branch. We've since implemented an unofficial policy of not moving things out of the workspace while there are multiple branches live unless you want to master time travel and parallel universe manipulation.
I ended up mostly manually redoing features to "merge" except for copying and pasting sketches.
