Branches of sgf files

Greetings,
I would be very grateful if someone cold help me with this.
I have just had a private lesson resulting in a saved sgf file containing a huge amount of branches.
How can I take an individual branch, copy it and make it into a separate file for study?
Cheers,
Buri

You can do this in MultiGo:

Move to the end of the branch you want to save.
Select in the menu:
Advanced > Copy Current SGF
File > New
Advanced > Paste SGF

Save it to a new file.

Save it to a new file.

This is good to know except for one thing. MultiGo can't read multipart SGF files. I just tested this right now. I had a file with three games in one SGF file and Multigo could only read the first game. If the user runs into this scenario I would use CompoGo to open the multipart SGF file. This way you can select the game you want to look at, save it as a separate SGF game file and then open it in MultiGo. From there then you can apply MultiGo's advanced feature.

Greetings,
thank you so much for taking the trouble to help.
I am sure I am being really dumb, but to be honest I cannot relate this explanation to my computer:(
`menu` means anything I can see when looking at my game such as `options`?
I can`t find the word itself. Nor anything that leads to the words Advanced>
Copy Current.
I`m sorry I don`t know where to find these.
Best wishes,
Buri
I looke at MultiGo and CompoGo but it appears they are for windows only.
What do Mac usersdo?

My instructions are for MultiGo only, so if you can't use that, I can't help you.

I use the KGS client myself, and it will do what you want.

but the original poster isn't asking about multipart SGF files. They are asking about a single SGF file with many variations ("branches").
