Baseline Keyword

You can set a keyword to pick individual page versions from each page's history. When you enter a keyword, the plugin searches for the keyword in revision comment of each page version and includes the newest version (that is earlier than the selected date) that matches.

This capability can be used to filter out draft versions of a page. Since each "save" creates a new version, you can enter a specific word in document revision notes for major versions of pages and using the "Baseline Keyword" feature, you can make the plugin pick those versions from the page history.

If you do not use keywords in history notes (or if your are not sure how to use this feature) just leave the keyword empty.

Vieving Baseline Contents

• Open the "Baselines" tab in Space Administration section of your Confluence space.
  
• On the left column of the screen you will see the list of existing baselined created for that space. 
• Click on one of the baseline to see the contents on the right.
• Each row shows a page in the baseline with its title, full page location, the version of the page included in the baseline and the date of the page version.
• You can click on the page title to navigate directly to the page version.

Deleting a Baseline

• To delete a baseline, click on the garbage bin icon nextx to the baseline name in the list.

• System will prompt you to confirm that you want to delete the baseline.
• Click "Apply" if you are sure that you want to delete the baseline.
• The baseline will then be permanently deleted and removed from the list.
• Since the baseline contains only links to page versions, not actual pages themselves, deleting a baseline does not delete pages. Your pages will remain in their spaces.
  
  

• To compare baseline contents, select exactly two baselines from the list and click compare.

• The compare screen will display three separate lists of pages
  • Pages that are only included in the first selected baseline
  • Pages that are only included in the second selected baseline
  • Pages that are included in both baselines but have different versions in two baselines.
  • Pages that are included in both baselines with same versions will not be listed

• Click on any page title to navigate directly to the page version.
• Pages with different versions in selected baselines will show links to navigate to both versions.
