# Re-baselining Webpages

> Update the reference baseline after making authorised changes to a monitored webpage.

After making authorised changes to a webpage, you'll need to re-baseline it so that WebOrion uses the updated version as the new reference for future polling checks. Without re-baselining, WebOrion will continue to flag the changes as alerts.

## Re-baselining from the portal

1. Go to **Webpage → View Webpages**
2. Click the **⋮** menu next to the webpage and select **Configuration**
3. Click the **Re-Baseline** button at the top of the page

This triggers the Intelligent Baselining Process for that page. Once complete, the new state is saved as the reference baseline.

<Note>
  Previously disabled elements will remain disabled after re-baselining. Newly added or changed elements will appear in the **Details** dropdown for you to review and configure.

## Re-baselining via email

If a contact has the **Allow Re-baseline via Email** option enabled, they will receive a link in their alert email that triggers re-baselining directly — without needing to log into the portal.

Clicking the link will run the Intelligent Baselining Process and automatically save the recommended baseline.

## What to check after re-baselining

After re-baselining, review the **Details** dropdown in the Content & Integrity Analytics tab to confirm that:

* Any newly inserted elements have been picked up correctly
* Elements you want to exclude are still unchecked
* Thresholds are still appropriate for the updated page

See [Reducing False Positives](/defacement-monitor/configuring-monitoring/reducing-false-positives) for guidance on adjusting these settings.
