What is the difference between Variants and Baselines?

Are you looking for a Baseline feature on Requirement Yogi Cloud? Unfortunately, we do not have them, instead we have Variants. Don’t know the difference? Check our guide:

Use cases

Baselines on RY Data Center

Variants on RY Cloud

Baselines on RY Data Center

Variants on RY Cloud

We want to create a Baseline for each new release of the product.

We need different specifications for 2 different customers, and they are slightly different.

We want to keep track of requirements that have been approved by the client.

We must keep the public version intact, while we're currently working on the next version of the product

Use as a history tool

Parallel evolution of the same product but with small differences

I want to test a specific version of requirements and link it to Jira.
