Types of baselines

You can create two types of baselines: full and incremental.

A full baseline is a baseline that you create by recording all versions of all elements below the component's root directory.

An incremental baseline is a baseline that you create by recording the last full baseline and those versions of elements that have changed since the last full baseline was created.

Generally, it takes less time to create an incremental baseline. However, it takes less time to look up the contents of a full baseline.
