Select specific requirements for a baseline
If you want to select specific requirements to be baselined and not all of them. For example you only want released requirements to be in a baseline, and not all draft requirements which have not been implemented.
It is possible to use a search query to baseline requirements from a variant and freeze them:

Frequently asked questions
How to check the difference between one baseline and current requirements?
At the moment, we do not have a comparison tool for baselines. In the future, you’ll be able to compare baselines using the Modification Matrix.If you are using a baseline filter, some search criteria will not work on baselined requirements:
Search with the page name or id (ex:
page = 45343). This criteria does not work because baselined requirements are not associated with Confluence pages.Search with rules of requirement types (ex:
rulestatus = false). This criteria does not work because we do not run validation rules on baselined requirements.
Frequently asked questions
Can I link requirements or Jira issues to a specific baseline?
For Jira issues, just like you used to do with the variants, you’ll be able to select a baseline in the version dropdown.
The link to baselined requirements in Confluence is To Be Released.
Can I import baselines from DC to the Cloud?
Without following CCMA, you can manually export baselines from Data Center and reimport them on the Cloud. Please follow this documentation page: Migrating Baselines from Server to Cloud.
