Baselines

The baseline of a publication identifies all objects in the publication by their GUID and version.

After you have identified and added all objects to your publication, you can freeze the information as the publication baseline. When frozen, you cannot change the content so the baseline can be used as an archive for your publication and as a means to identify the versions of the objects that were included in a publication.

Note however, the baseline does not contain the following about the publish process:
  • languages
  • output formats
  • conditions

This allows you, even when frozen, to change condition settings and output formats to produce different, custom output from the frozen publication baseline.
