Hi,

I am adding new rows to my schedule and they don't automatically baseline. I would like to add the new rows to the overall baseline without resetting. Is there a workaround that I can try to do this?

    Hi @Alex V


    Currently, you can't just have the new tasks added to be included to your baseline as with dates and tasks added, your baseline is essentially changing.


    You can create a new baseline by removing the existing baseline and adding it again. This will create two additional columns that will be the new baseline and locked for edits, while the previous baseline will become editable. You can then lock the previous baseline columns to ensure changes aren't done. If you ever wanted to know what was the original baseline and the associated tasks, you have them as data points available in the sheet.

    Thanks,
