From this drop-down menu, you can view a selected baseline in Requirements Document Editor or Requirements Tree editor. A red line will appear below the ribbon toolbar indicating that the Requirements Document is opened in baseline.
You can compare a selected baseline with the current baseline and compare two selected baselines to view differences. Refer to the article for Using Compare Requirements Document Baselines Viewer.
