Does deploy and branch previews work on subdomains?

Say I am hosting two websites on Netlify.

  1. One website is on the domain www.example.com
  2. The other one is on the sub-domain test.example.com

If I want to enable branch and pull request previews on a subdomain for both the websites. Will it work?

If the first website has a branch called test, then it will be deployed to test.example.com but that subdomain is already used by website 2. What does Netlify do in such case?

Or do I need to move website 2 to some other new domain like www.example1.com to make deploys work?

I got answer, which I am reproducing here.

Branch Subdomains aren’t enabled by default. You would have to enable each branch subdomain individually.
If you have added a subdomain as a domain alias that is the same a branch name, you will want to remove the domain alias before enabling the branch subdomain.
