Snapshots Palette

The Snapshots palette and the controls that can be found on it are described in the table below. When controls also bring up additional dialogs, these are referenced for more information.

What It Does

The Snapshots palette displays:

• a list of snapshots for the entire project or currently selected channel

• buttons to take, revert, or delete channel snapshots

• information about snapshots, such as name, when they were created and by what user.
