 - **Separate Environments**: Each branch is a separate environment with its own Supabase instance and API credentials.
 - **Preview Branches**: You can create multiple Preview Branches for testing.
 - **Persistent Branches**: Persistent branches are long-lived branches. They aren't automatically paused or deleted due to non-inactivity or merging.
-- **GitHub integration and Branching 2.0**: You can use branching with the GitHub integration, or use Branching 2.0 to manage your branches without Git (in Feature Preview).
+- **Managing Branches**: You can create, review, and merge branches either automatically via our [GitHub integration](/docs/guides/deployment/branching/github-integration) or directly [through the dashboard](/docs/guides/deployment/branching/dashboard) (currently in beta). All branches show up in the branches page in the dashboard, regardless of how they were created.
 - **Data-less**: New branches do not start with any data from your main project. This is meant to better protect your sensitive production data. To start your branches with data, you can use a [seed file](/docs/guides/deployment/branching/github-integration#seeding) if using the GitHub integration.
