Using snapshots to create new instances of a project

Snapshot a project to quickly create a new instance of a project that you want to change or modify. A project snapshot is a separate and executable project. You can also use a snapshot to create a new instance of a library.

Verifying and editing access groups for snapshot permissions
Verify that users have the permissions required to create snapshots and to set the default snapshot. If not, assign permissions to users by using access groups.
Creating a project snapshot from an existing project or project snapshot
Creating a project snapshot creates a new instance of the project and the objects that you choose to snapshot. The snapshot is not a copy; it is a new, executable instance of a project.
Changing the default project snapshot
The default project snapshot is the top-level snapshot in a project snapshot set and is displayed in the projects list (Projects).
Changing the snapshot name for a project snapshot
You can change the snapshot name for a project snapshot and also for the objects that you selected to snapshot when you created the project snapshot.
Accessing and viewing snapshots in a project snapshot set
Creating a project snapshot creates a snapshot set that contains a minimum of two projects: the base project and the new project snapshot.
