Here’s how to restore a view that is ignored in the shared model, from within a branch.

What you’re seeing

- View files can be `ignored` which will remove them from the `Combined` model view and move them into `Model` mode (`Staged` when in a branch).

- In the branch IDE, the “Staged” filter only shows files you’ve changed and saved on the branch. If you haven’t yet created/edited a file for the ignored view in the branch, it won’t appear in Staged.

Step-by-step: Restore the ignored view in a branch (workaround)

- Open your branch in the model IDE: Model \> Branch

- From `Combined` mode, create a new view file with the exact same name as the ignored view.

- Open that view file and set ignored: false.

- Click Save to branch.

- When done, merge/publish via your normal branch flow (and PR if git integration is enabled).

- Your view should now appear in the shared model.
