New Bookmark dialog
Install the Mercurial plugin
This functionality relies on the Mercurial plugin, which you need to install and enable.
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open settings and then select .
Open the Marketplace tab, find the Mercurial plugin, and click Install (restart the IDE if prompted).
Use this dialog to establish a new light-weight Mercurial branch (bookmark). The bookmark will immediately appear in the VCS widget. You can create both active and inactive bookmarks. By default, IntelliJ IDEA creates an active bookmark, so you are immediately switched to the new bookmark, and it is marked with a tick in the VCS widget. If you do not want to move your development to the new bookmark right now, you can create an inactive bookmark and switch to it later. Note that tracking and updating is available only for the bookmark that is currently active. You can have only one active bookmark. For more information, refer to Bookmarks and Manage Mercurial branches and bookmarks.
