2.3.4.2 Snapshot Editor
Snapshots can be useful to create variations of the object state within a study. A snapshot preserves the current view of the objects in a study. The recorded view can include device poses and different object attributes, such as point of view, object visibility, object locations, or viewing mode. Using snapshots, you are able to restore the previous state of a study. It is highly recommended to create a snapshot before you make the very first change in a study so you will be able to return to the initial state of the study.
The Snapshot Editor can be used to create, edit, and display the snapshots from a study loaded in the Graphic Viewer. Follow these steps to create snapshots:
- Select View > Viewers > Snapshot Editor from the menu bar to open the Snapshot Editor viewer.
- In the Snapshot Editor Viewer, click the New Snapshot button
to create a new snapshot. - A new snapshot of the current state of the loaded study displayed in the Graphic Viewer is created with the default name Snapshot_# and the image of the snapshot is displayed in the lower part of the Snapshot Editor.
After a snapshot has been created, you can edit the name of the snapshot or remove the snapshot. You can also update the snapshot using the Update Snapshot button 
at a later time. The selected snapshot is then changed to the image of the currently displayed objects in the Graphic Viewer. You can restore the previous state of the study using the Apply Snapshot button 
. The current state of the study is replaced in the Graphic Viewer with the image from the previously created snapshot, depending on the options you choose from the dropdown list as shown in the following figure.
