Edit a custom baseline

Use the Edit feature to version changes in a duplicate baseline in the Custom Baselines section of the Baselines Library that you previously locked. You cannot edit baselines from Microsoft without first using the Duplicate feature to make them display in the Custom Baselines section.

Note   The Edit feature is designed to allow you to version changes in your custom baselines.

To edit a duplicate baseline

1. In the Baselines Library, in the Custom Baselines section, click the locked custom baseline that you want to edit, and then in the Action pane, under Baselines, click Edit.

   Note   The Edit feature is only available after you select a locked custom baseline.

2. On the Edit feature confirmation prompt, click OK to unlock the custom baseline and create a new version of it that you can define.

   

3. In the Edit version dialog box, update the custom baseline name with either a major or minor version number, or a combination of these values, and then click OK.

   

   Note   In order to successfully import a configuration pack generated from a custom baseline into Configuration Manager 2007, you must first increment the version number of the custom baseline. For more information, see the “Export DCM Configuration Packs” topic.

   SCM appends the version number to the name of your custom baseline, as illustrated in the following figure.

   Note   You can only increment a subsequent version number for a custom baseline to a higher value.

   

You can now modify the updated custom baseline version, and then lock it to access the Edit feature to update the version number again if desired.

Note   Deleting a custom baseline version reverts the custom baseline to its previous version.
