To automatically assign a domain to a different branch:

1. From the [dashboard](/dashboard), pick the project to which you would like to assign your domain and open **Settings** in the sidebar.
2. Click on [**Domains**](https://vercel.com/d?to=%2F%5Bteam%5D%2F%5Bproject%5D%2Fsettings%2Fdomains\&title=Go+to+Domains+Settings).
3. Select the **Edit** dropdown item for the domain to which you would like to assign your branch.
4. Select **Preview** from the **Connect to an environment** section
5. In the **Git Branch** field, enter the branch name to which you would like to assign the domain:

Pro and Enterprise teams can also set branch tracking for their [custom environments](/docs/deployments/environments#custom-environments).

> **💡 Note:** If you prefer to do this using the Vercel REST API instead, you can use the
> ["Update a project
> domain"](/docs/rest-api/reference/endpoints/projects/update-a-project-domain)
> PATCH endpoint.
