Working with Baselines

Baselines

A baseline is a collection of documents in a specific version, which always refers to a particular branch. Baselines are immutable, that is, items displayed through baselines cannot be edited.

Create baselines

To create a baseline in a workspace in the Wiki Navigator, click on the workspace to open the context menu. Select “Create Baseline”. To create a baseline, the user must select a branch. The baseline that will be created is based on the selected branch.

All the documents that are in the HEAD of the current branch are members of the baseline. It is not possible to remove documents from a baseline or select a document version other than the HEAD.

View baselines

To view a specific baseline, select “Branch/Baseline”. Then switch in the context menu of the Wiki Navigator.

• If the user does not select a baseline, the system switches the target workspace to the selected branch.

• If the user selects a branch,the baseline component is reloaded and displays all baselines created within the selected branch.

• If the user selects both the branch and the baseline, the system displays the documents from the baseline.

Delete baselines

To delete a specific baseline, select the option “Delete baseline” in the context menu of the Wiki Navigator.

Edit baselines

To edit a baseline, select it and click the “Edit Baseline” button on the toolbar. In the dialog box that appears, you can edit the name and description of the baseline.
