What is a baseline and how do I use it?

A baseline is a saved copy of your timeline. It lets you compare your current timeline with your original plan, so you can see what has moved.

Save a baseline

1. Go to Timeline.
2. Click Baseline and then Add baseline.

Compare with a baseline

1. Click Baseline and choose a saved baseline.
2. The baseline dates show in red under each task's current dates. The baseline also shows as a dark line on the chart.
3. To hide it, click Baseline and choose None.

Tip

• Save a baseline once your timeline is agreed, before work starts. Save a new one if the timeline is formally changed.
