Snapshots
Parameter Snapshots
Snapshots capture named parameter states so you can preview, compare, apply and restore known component configurations without manually re-entering every value.
- Where to find it
- Parameter Graph toolbar > Snapshot / snapshot panel
- When to use it
- Testing multiple valid sizes/configurations and preserving regression states

Step by step
- Set the graph/main parameters to a valid configuration.
- Press Snapshot to capture the current parameter state.
- Change values and create additional snapshots for other configurations.
- Click a timeline snapshot to preview/apply it in Designer.
- Use Reset after preview when you want to return to the values that were active before the preview.
Timeline
The inline snapshot timeline gives quick access to saved configurations. Selecting a frame can preview/apply its rows to the live Designer.
Snapshot panel
The detailed panel can Apply Checked, Delete Checked or Clear snapshots and shows parameter rows for each captured configuration.
Preview reset
Before applying a snapshot preview, the graph captures a temporary baseline so Reset can restore the values that existed before the preview.
Undo
Snapshot application is integrated with the model edit/undo flow so configuration changes are treated as deliberate parameter edits rather than hidden state changes.
Keep in mind
- Use snapshots as regression cases before giving a component to users: one small, one large and one edge-case configuration often catches graph mistakes quickly.
