# Mercurial: Create Branch Dialog Box

Use the Create Branch dialog box to create a local branch, if you want to work on a separate version of your file system without disturbing the main trunk.More

- choosing Team > Branch > Create Branch from the main menu
- right-clicking the selected item and choose Mercurial > Branch > Create Branch

In the Create Branch dialog box, you have to set the following property:
