The Switch To Selected Branch dialog box enables you to switch your files to a branch that already exists (for example, to a commit that is not at the top of one of your branches).
The Switch To Selected Branch dialog box contains the following elements:
| Element | Description | 
|---|---|
| Commit ID | A unique identifier of the branched revision. | 
| Author | Name of a person who committed the revision. | 
| Message | A message specified during the commit of the revision. | 
| Checkout as New Branch | (Optional) Checks out the branch specified as a new branch. Note: A detached HEAD is created if you select a remote branch and leave the option unselected. |
