Description: This guide shows you how to create a new baseline in a project so that it becomes available across all models in that project.
This guide shows you how to create a new baseline in a project so that it becomes available across all models in that project.

## Prerequisites

* You have admin access to the project.

## Steps

### Open Project Settings

Open **Project Settings** for the project.

### Go to the baselines section

Navigate to the **Baselines** section and click **Configure baselines**.

### Add a new baseline

Click **Add** to add a new baseline.

### Name the baseline

Enter a **name** for the baseline. The name must be unique within the project.

### Add a description and color (optional)

Enter a **description** to help other users understand the purpose of this baseline, and select a **color** to visually distinguish it in the Model Editor.

### Save

Click **Save** to confirm.

## What you have done

The new baseline is now available across all models in the project. Model builders can reference it when configuring nodes with baseline-specific operations.

## Limitations

* **The name is already in use**: Each baseline name must be unique within the project. Choose a different name and try again.
* **The "Data" baseline cannot be deleted**: "Data" is the default project baseline and is permanently available. It can be renamed but not removed.
