Create a snapshot

You can use snapshots as previews, for example, in a solution that shows available pages or snippets to the end user. You can create a snapshot to show a thumbnail image of a snippet. You can create snapshots of documents, pages, and snippets.

The snapshots are stored as JPEG images in the Sitecore media library.

To create a snapshot:

  1. In the Project panel, select the item you want to create the snapshot for.

  2. Load the page.

  3. Click the item in the Project panel, and drag it to a snapshots folder in the Snapshots library section.

A new snapshot item is created from the page as loaded, and this item is referenced to the selected snippet item.
