A snapshot can be of three kinds:

BIM Project snapshots

PLN Project snapshots

Library snapshots

All types can be either automatically scheduled, or created manually at any time - for example, whenever the project reaches particular milestones.

See also Project/Library Snapshot and Restore on how to use snapshots.

A BIMProject snapshot starts immediately as a background job, and you will receive a notification after it completes. (See Background Jobs.) The new snapshot is listed in the Snapshots list (as well as on the Activities panel).

For a PLN Project snapshot: The process is the same as for an automatically scheduled PLN snapshot. All clients are informed (via an icon in the Teamwork Palette) that a snapshot is pending. The snapshot will be created when a client clicks Create snapshot during a Send and Receive.

If a snapshot of the chosen type is already in progress or pending, you cannot create another one until the first one is complete.

Keep Snapshot

Available only if the selected file is an automatic snapshot. Click Keep to retain this automatic snapshot even after it would otherwise be scheduled to be deleted.

After you click Keep, the automatic snapshot becomes a Manual Snapshot, with an editable Name, and will henceforth be listed as a Manual Snapshot.

Rollback

Available only if the selected file is a BIMProject or Library snapshot.

See Rollback BIMproject or Library Snapshot on Same BIMcloud.
