What is the difference between Variants and Baselines?
Updated Jul 07

    What is the difference between Variants and Baselines?

    On the Cloud, we have two ways to manage versions: Baselines and Variants. Don’t know the difference? Check our guide:

    Use cases

    Baselines

    Variants

    Baselines

    Variants

    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.

    Feature

    Baselines

    Variants

    Create versions of requirements

    all requirements, or a preset from the search, or from a page.

    Variants are assigned per page (you can assign them one at a time, or multiple pages at once).

    Branches

    Version Comparison

    In the Diff

    In the Modification Matrix

    See who made changes

    Use the search and traceability on specific versions

    Create dependencies and links to Jira with specific versions
