In this topic:

## Overview

You can record a list of your space of workspace baselines. A baseline contains all the data on your space or workspace at a given date and time.

The actual baseline information is stored independently on an external server. The baseline list enables you to record, and link to, space or workspace baselines. Users can open the baseline version of a selected item using a direct link.

To work with baseline entries, the following permissions are required:

- To add a baseline entry: space or workspace admin permissions are required.

- To open a baseline version of an item: The General System Actions > View and access baselines permission is required.
