Creating a baseline

Creating a baseline is a short three-step wizard: Configuration, Page Selection and Save. Open the app and click + Create Baseline to begin.

Step 1 — Configuration

Give the baseline a descriptive name so you can find it later, then choose a snapshot type:

Snapshot typeWhat it captures
CurrentThe pages exactly as they are right now.
HistoricalThe pages as they were at a specific date & time you choose.
Step 1: name the baseline and choose Current or Historical

Naming tip

Include the purpose or date in the name — e.g. Q3 Release Baseline or Policy pages 2026-07. Scheduled baselines can add a date automatically; see Scheduled baselines.

Step 2 — Page Selection

Pick the space that holds the content you want to capture. Start typing to filter the list, then select the space.

Step 2: choose the Confluence space

Once a space is selected, its space tree loads. Each row shows the item's Title, Type and current Version. Tick individual items, expand a page to reach its children, or use Select all to capture the whole space.

Step 2: select pages from the space tree — individually or all at once

Attachments come along

When a page is included, the attachments embedded on it are captured with it, so exports and restores keep their images and files intact.

Step 3 — Save

Review your selection and save. Baselines captures each selected page at its current version (or at the historical point you chose) and adds the finished snapshot to your dashboard. Larger selections take a little longer to assemble.

Retaking a baseline

To refresh a snapshot with the latest content, use the Retake action on the baseline's row. This captures the same scope again at the current versions, so you can keep a rolling record without rebuilding the selection each time.
