# Save changes with a pull request

Saving dashboard changes to a new branch lets you open a pull request for team review. This workflow enables collaboration, ensures dashboard quality through code review, and maintains approval processes before changes reach production.

To save changes with a pull request, complete the following steps:

In this section, you save changes to a new branch and open a pull request.

1. Make a small change to a provisioned dashboard.
2. Click **Save**. The **Provisioned dashboard** drawer opens on the **Details** tab.
3. On the **Details** tab, optionally confirm **Repository folder** (leave empty for the repo root), **Filename**, and **Comment**.
4. Optionally open **Changes** to review the diff, then return to **Details**. Do this before setting **Branch**, because switching tabs after setting a new branch can reset **Branch** to main.
5. Enter a new **Branch** name that doesn’t already exist, for example, add-latency-metrics. When **Press Enter to create new branch** appears, press Enter once.
6. Confirm your new branch is selected in **Branch**, then stay on **Details**.
7. Still on **Details**, with your new branch selected, scroll to the bottom of the drawer if needed, then click **Save**.
   
   A successful new-branch save opens a Git Sync preview page (URL includes /dashboard/provisioning/).
8. On the Git Sync preview page, in the success banner, click **Open pull request in GitHub**.
   
   If you are still on the normal dashboard edit page with no banner, the save used main — open **Save** again and keep the new branch selected through **Save**.

Git Sync creates a new branch, commits your changes, and opens GitHub so you can create the pull request. The PR includes your commit message and the dashboard changes.

In the next milestone, you’ll view and merge the pull request in GitHub.
