The recently released updates improve the experience of navigating through branch information, with production and development branches having their own unique features. The schema page is now visible on a single page, allowing users to easily search for tables and view table sizes in production branches. Development branches display a diff of changes relative to its parent, making it easier to reference while working on deploy requests. These updates are part of an ongoing effort to make branches more configurable for various use cases, with the community encouraged to provide feedback through Twitter or the GitHub discussion board.
