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

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
