What is a snapshot?

A snapshot creates a copy of the current project. A snapshot is frozen and cannot be edited. However, you can reset the project to the exact state of any existing snapshot. This is useful if you want to preserve the current state, such as when you want to document how the planning and state of the data management evolve over time. It is also useful if you want to make a substantial change to the DMP and want a backup.
Some funders, such as the ERC (H2020), expect to receive a new DMP after each project stage. Snapshots allow you to preserve the planning state while keeping the DMP a “living and changing” document.
