Saving snapshots of your document

You can save a snapshot of the document you are editing at any time. This will create a copy of the document in its current state and save it as a snapshot in the document’s version history without affecting the main version of the document (i.e. the one that is saved when you press the Save button).

To save a snapshot:

  1. In the upper toolbar, select Document>Take snapshot.

  2. Edit the snapshot name in the Version Label field (it is set to “Saved” by default)

  3. Click OK.
