How does it work?
Creating a Baseline
When creating a baseline, you have two main options:
1. Based on a Date
This option allows you to select file versions based on a specific date. The app automatically includes the latest version of each document that was available before the given date.
2. By Selecting Individual Item Versions
This option provides granular control by allowing you to select specific versions of individual items and attachments.
Viewing a Baseline
Baselines for Confluence allows you to view the items (pages, blog posts and attachments) included in a baseline, with details like version, location, and the option to compare with the latest version; in addition, you can directly access the document version within the baseline.
Using Baselines for Comparison
Baselines for Confluence allows users to compare two baselines to identify changes. Users can navigate directly to document versions or use the "Compare" button to review specific item differences.
Check out Baselines for Confluence on the Atlassian Marketplace, install the app and start capturing and comparing your content in a whole new way!
