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.
