Assembly Baselines

You can track the changes of an assembly by multiple user groups to establish a baseline.

Once an assembly is in a semi-completed state, you can begin to track changes to its structure and content. This enables multiple groups of users to track changes before the assembly is approved. It also enables an assembly group and publishing group to synchronize changes to the assembly with an external publishing application.

The current assembly outline becomes the baseline when the baseline is set; any existing baseline for that version is erased. After you begin to make changes to the assembly, you can view differences between the updated assembly and the baseline.

Note: Only an administrator can set the baseline for an assembly.
