Create and Use

You can create a snapshot from within a session and open it from the homepage.

• Save a Snapshot
• Rename a Snapshot
• Open a Snapshot
• Delete a Snapshot
• Refresh a Snapshot

Save a Snapshot

You can either save all datasets in the current session as a snapshot, or compose a DataChat sentence to select specific datasets.

note

You can save one snapshot in each session. If you already created a snapshot in the session and save the current snapshot with a new name, the current snapshot is saved with the new name and replaces the former snapshot. If you save with the same name, you are prompted to either overwrite with the same name—updating the former snapshot with the current one—or cancel and save with a different name.
