01

Create a snapshot before risk

Use a snapshot before reorganizing a project, applying a large automation, or making a major connected-tool change.

02

Name the reason

A useful snapshot explains why it exists, such as Before client revision or Before repository migration.

03

Understand the scope

A snapshot may preserve LobeWork project state and references, but external provider histories and unrelated files may remain outside it.

04

Review before restoring

Restoring can replace newer state. Compare the snapshot date and affected areas before confirming.

Compare the snapshot date and affected areas before confirming.

05

Keep external backups

Snapshots support project recovery but do not replace a complete backup strategy for important source files.
