(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?
(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.
Hello,
Currently trying to update a master baseline draft, I'm trying to update and add some activities to the MS from another project, but both have different WBSs. Is there a solution or I'll have to manually update?
Thanks.

Open both projects
make sure that you are in the WBS folder then copy activites from 1 project to the other
Hi Hamza,
Probably you could try a quick verification on your side using the Update Baseline feature as suggested by Zoltan and see what happens (make a backup of your draft baseline first).
The baseline to attach is basically your master baseline draft.
Since I'm still developping the Baseline, no BL is attached yet.
I haven't explained the case well, I opened both projects, the activities in both share the same activity IDs, names etc.. (minus a few exclusions). The difference is that the WBS where these activities are stored under.
For example
Project (Old) : Activity 1 is under WBS 1.1.1
Project (New) : Activity 1 is under WBS 1.2.1.1
The problem is that There are many activities like this stranded accross multiple WBS. (I can filter them in the activities tab).
Have you opened both projects at the same time? You can then Group by WBS or any common Activity codes they may share.
if there is a baseline attached then you can go to Maintian Baselines and select Update
from here you can tell it what you wabt updated check the second section where it says Add new activities and activity data
Uncheck update exiting activities already in the baseline
then select Update options and select General Activity information
activity code assignments
relationships
WBS assignmnets and anything else listed
then select Update
you will receive a message Update process complete
check your results
