Manually Update Baselines at the Task Level

You can create project baselines and then update them at the task level. You can do this from the Project: Tasks: Task List page or on the Project: Tasks: Work Breakdown Structure page. When you manually update baselines from the task, all of the changes you made to task assignments, estimates, and budgets since the last update are included. When you update a baseline at the task level, the update only includes changes to the selected tasks; changes made to the budget or to unselected tasks are not included.

When updating baselines, the baseline marked Current is updated. You can verify which baseline is current on the Project: Properties: Baseline page. If applicable, the update is reflected in the Gantt bar on the Project: Tasks: Task List page.

The following instructions explain how to update a project baseline at the task level, from the Project: Tasks: Task List page.
