Initiate a review from a previous baseline

You can compare a reviewed baseline with the latest item version to see how items changed between revisions. Each review revision has its own baseline.

This type of review provides a separate view of changes across item versions, making it easy to identify what changed between versions.

Important considerations
  • When you open the review in Comparison View, it uses the selected baseline. The baseline version comparison drop-down menu is disabled until the review has newly published revisions available for comparison. Until then, you can compare current items only with the original baseline.

To initiate a review from a previous baseline:

  1. Use one of these methods to initiate a review from a previous baseline:

    • From a baseline, select Send for review.

    • Settings — Configure the settings for your review.

    • Participants — Select the group you want to include as review participants.
