# Snapshots

Choose Session Snapshot to store the current state of the session without overwriting the primary session file. The snapshot dialog will appear, and you can (optionally) enter a name for the snapshot. The default name is based on the current time.

A snapshot is nothing more than a new session file. It still references the same audio and automation data as the primary session file.

Saving a snapshot does not change the status of the current session. It does not change what will happen when you choose Session Save at a later time. Note that a snapshot is not a new session.
