 There's both line coloring and branch labels on the left side of the **Local History** view that help make it easier to trace which commits belong to each branch. You can use the list of branches at the top of the table to scroll between branches more easily and know immediately which branches appear in the graph.
 
+In the Branches / Tags section, hover over a branch to show the **Toggle Branch in History** hover button (the icon looks like an eye). By using the hover button, you can select which branches to show in the commit history view.
+
+You can use the toolbar buttons at the top of the commit history view to customize the view and filter on branches.
+
+- **Show First Parent Only**: Limit the history to only show the commit history as a single line, rather than side branches with their own sequence of commits.
+- **Show Local Branches**: Toggle whether or not to show labels for local branch in the history view.
+- **Show Remote Branches**: Toggle whether or not to show labels for remote branches that contribute to the commit history you're viewing.
+- **Show Tags**: Toggle whether or not to show labels for tags.
+
+  **Show Local Branches**, **Show Remote Branches**, and **Show Tags** all refer the label indicators on commits shown to the left side in the history view.
