Adding Objects to a Baseline
You can add objects to existing baselines with the Add to Baseline action or from the Baseline Objects table.
 |
A baseline can only include one specific version of each object. If you are adding a different version of an object that is already included in the baseline, then the object version currently in the baseline is replaced. A confirmation message appears requesting permission to proceed.
However, if you are checking in multiple objects, it is assumed you want to replace all of them and you will not be prompted to replace each object individually.

Typically, there should be no reason to edit a baseline. The purpose of the baseline is provide static information related to a specific point in time. Ensure that you are not compromising the integrity of the baseline by adding and removing objects. If you want a collection of objects similar to a baseline, but which is more open for modification, consider using a managed collection. For more information, see Managed Collections.
