Microsoft Project 2010 : Maintaining Baselines (part 3) - Resetting a Baseline , Multiple Baselines

You can keep multiple baselines for a project. Project allows you to maintain up to 10 baselines plus the core baseline. This comes in handy when you have a major change in scope—enough to warrant a baseline reset (a change significant enough to change the original agreement or intent of the project deliverables).

Microsoft Project 2010 : Maintaining Baselines (part 2) - Rolling-Wave Planning with Baselines

If you're following a rolling-wave planning approach, you can use the baseline function and take advantage of the Set Baseline for Selected Tasks option.

Microsoft Project 2010 : Maintaining Baselines (part 1) - Clearing a Baseline

At any time during a project's planning or execution stages, you can clear the baseline to make it appear as if it never existed. Clearing a baseline removes all data from all baseline fields and returns them to the state they were in before the baseline was set. In other words, the fields return to displaying NA for baseline data.
