Discussion

When you save a baseline, the default option makes a copy of the baseline for the entire project; however, you can also save a baseline of selected tasks. Saving a baseline of selected tasks is helpful when you have saved a baseline of the entire project and then realize you need to adjust certain incorrect task information. You can revise the tasks and then update the original baseline for those tasks only.

In addition, during the life of the project you may need to add tasks after the baseline has been saved. You can select those new tasks and add them to your original plan by updating the original baseline.
