Compliance Glossary for Confluence

What is a compliance evidence baseline?

A compliance evidence baseline is a point-in-time record used to compare later terminology and document state. Compliance Glossary has two baseline paths. Create baseline freezes term versions and scanned page references, but not page bytes, hashes, or trace links. Prepare and queue freeze creates the richer enterprise package with retention, exact revisions, hashes, evidence collections, and verification.

How it works

  1. Open Terminology Baseline.
  2. Use Create baseline for a versioned comparison point across selected spaces.
  3. Review Baseline evidence report and Changed since baseline.
  4. Use Prepare and queue freeze when exact content, hashes, retention, or richer evidence is required.
  5. Review Freeze progress, Coverage blockers, and Frozen meanings and revisions.
  6. Select Run verification before exporting the enterprise package.

Example

At a release checkpoint, an administrator creates a terminology baseline for two governed spaces. It records term versions and scanned page versions. If exact page content and hashes are required, the administrator creates an enterprise freeze. Later edits appear through comparison or new evidence. They do not alter the captured point.

What this does not mean

Neither path proves that source content is correct or compliant. The legacy 200,000-page code cap is an input ceiling, not production capacity evidence. The 250,000-artifact qualification is a deterministic local simulation. It does not establish Forge latency, consumption, cost, residency, or production capacity. Application hashes are tamper evidence, not legal WORM storage.
