Then:

• Work normally on your design
• Save the file
• Commit the changes with a meaningful message describing them. The plugin will extract the artboards in your file in order to show the differences easily.

• Create a pull request from your branch to the master branch.
• Voila. Your co-workers can review the changes, comment on them and approve them. Once approved, merge the pull request.
