Manage Baseline Children

Learn how to manage child projects connected to your Baseline, including pushing updates and disconnecting children.

Use the Manage child projects page to push updates from your Baseline to connected child projects, and monitor each child's update status. You can also break the connection when needed.

The page is available on any project used as a baseline. Access it in multiple ways:

1. Go to the Baseline project in the Umbraco Cloud portal.
2. Navigate to the Manage child projects page.
3. Click the Baseline label at the bottom of the left-side menu.

   • Alternatively, go to Management > Baselines.

Pushing changes from baseline to children

You can push changes coming from the baseline out to the children.

Use the checkboxes to select which child projects you want to update. Click Update selected to push changes from the baseline to the child projects.

Pushing changes from the baseline creates an entry in Project history. Each targeted child project also gets its own entry.

Actions, sorting, and filters

Click a column header to sort the list by Project name or Last update (UTC).

The Filter children input field filters the list by project name.

Use the Select outdated button in the action bar to select all children where component versions are behind the baseline. Then click Update selected to push changes.

Outdated components

A child project can show an indicator for components that are behind the baseline. Tracked components include Umbraco CMS, Deploy, Forms, Umbraco ID, Umbraco.Cloud.Cms, and more.

Breaking the connection cannot be undone.

1. Navigate to the Manage child projects page.
2. Click the disconnect icon next to the Child project you want to disconnect.
