Snapshots
A snapshot is a named save point of the complete chain state — topology, all parameters, and system spec — at a specific moment in time.
Creating a snapshot
Use the header Snapshot button and navigate to snapshot, or ask the AI:
Save snapshot as "v1_baseline"
Give the snapshot a name (e.g., pre_LNA_swap, post_filter_optimization, rev2_final). An optional description can be added.
Restoring a snapshot
Open the snapshot list (header or Versions panel) and click Restore next to the snapshot you want. The current chain is replaced with the snapshot state.
Restoring a snapshot overwrites your current chain. Save a snapshot of the current state first if you want to preserve it.
Deleting a snapshot
Click Delete next to a snapshot in the list. Deletion is permanent — snapshots cannot be recovered.
Snapshots vs. version history
| Feature | Snapshot | Version history |
|---|---|---|
| Created by | You, manually | Automatically after every action |
| Named | Yes (you name it) | No (timestamped) |
| Persistent | Yes, until deleted or a new session | Retained for a rolling window |
| Use case | Design milestones | Step-by-step undo history |
Use snapshots for intentional milestones ("baseline before component swap"). Use version history for fine-grained undo and replay.
