Compare baselines

When a baseline has more than one version, you can compare two versions in baseline Document View using the baseline in-app Compare option.

Important considerations
  • Document View must be enabled. If the setting has been disabled, organization admins can enable it from Admin > Details.

  • Use this feature while viewing an older version of a baseline. If viewing the most current version, the baseline in-app Compare option doesn’t appear.

  • When comparing baselines, the categories table isn’t available.

  • Baselines that were created before Jama Connect 9.6 now display an icon to indicate that the new fields aren't available. This icon appears in List View, Document View, in-app comparison summary, and the Preview panel.

    The baseline in-app comparison information bar displays a count of item changes. Updates to relationships are not included in the total count. Changes are displayed inline with versions indicated by color:

    Red = Edited or deleted text/data from an older version

    Green = Edited or added text/data from a new version
