+### About stashed changes
+You can view and make commits to any of your repository's branches. If you have uncommitted, saved changes, you'll need to decide what to do with your changes before you can switch branches. You can commit your changes on the current branch, stash your changes on the current branch, or bring the changes to your new branch. If you want to commit your changes on the current branch, follow the steps in "[Committing and reviewing changes to your project](/desktop/contributing-to-projects/committing-and-reviewing-changes-to-your-project)" before switching branches.
+
+You can stash all uncommitted changes to temporarily save the changes without committing them, and then reapply the changes later. You can only stash one set of changes at a time with {% data variables.product.prodname_desktop %}. After you stash changes on a branch, you can safely change branches or make other changes to your current branch.
