Creating a new baseline
A baseline artifact is a snapshot in time of one or more artifacts in a project. Baselines provide you with a reference point for viewing project artifacts as they existed at a particular point in time, even after the artifacts have changed. Baseline artifacts can be included in reviews to obtain feedback and approval.
You can create a baseline within the Baselines and Reviews folder or you can add artifacts to a new baseline within the artifact list. For more information on the latter topic, see Adding an artifact to a baseline.
To add a baseline artifact:
-
Click the Baselines and Reviewsfolder in the explorer panel.
- Click the New button on the ribbon (Home tab, Artifacts group).
- Select Child Artifact.
- Click the baseline icon.
Next, you will probably want to configure and seal the baseline. Read more about Configuring and sealing a baseline
