4. How It Works

 Confluence automatically creates a new version number every time a document edited. Baselines for Confluence helps you to save a collection of links to documents versions of a specific date & time. 
 After creating a baseline you can easily access specific versions of the documents in that baseline.

Baselines for Confluence also lets you select documents based on keywords. If you give a keyword in "What did you change" field while saving a document in Confluence you can use that keyword to select that document version while creating a baseline. If a keyword is provided when creating a baseline, Baselines for Confluence looks for the latest document marked with that keyword, before the given date. This feature can be used to distinguish between draft and stable versions.
