Snapshots

Procedures to create and manage snapshots

Snapshots allow you to create a point-in-time backup of your base. Use them before major changes or to safeguard against accidental data loss.

Key Notes

• Restoring a snapshot creates a new base — the existing base is not modified.
• You can choose which workspace to restore the snapshot into.
• Audit log data (global audits and record revision history) is not included in snapshots.
• Base-level permissions, shared base, and shared view settings are not restored — these must be reconfigured manually.
• A minimum gap of three hours is required between creating two snapshots.
• Only Base Owners can access the snapshot feature.

Access Snapshots

1. Open the base and go to Base Settings → Admin → Snapshots .

Create a Snapshot

1. Click + New Snapshot .
2. Enter a name for the snapshot (defaults to the current date and time).
3. Click Save .

The snapshot appears in the list with a Restore button and a ⋮ menu carrying Delete .

Restore a Snapshot

1. Click Restore next to the snapshot you want to restore.
2. Select the target workspace (defaults to current workspace).

หมายเหตุ: Restoring a snapshot creates a new base in the selected workspace. The existing base is not affected.
