# Revert to the baseline values

Typically, budgets are created based on prior period actuals data, then those values are edited for the current budget period. You can revert a cell, row or a selection of cells and rows to the baseline values.
You might want to revert to baseline to:
* Check that the values in the baseline are flowing through to the budget.
* Undo all of the changes you and other budget users have made in the workflow, to start from a clean slate.
* If you based your budget on a forecast stream and have since updated that stream, bring everything back to that base state.

| Values display in black font. | Values display in blue font. |
| There is no cell history. | There is a history of changes made to the cell. |
| Values update automatically when the underlying value changes in the database. (These values can be [fixed](/budgets-and-forecasts/owner-and-administrator/fix-the-baseline-in-a-budget.md) to stop them from updating) | Values do not update automatically when the underlying value changes in the database. |
