What is a snapshot?
A snapshot is the representation of the state of the model at a given instance. Each change to the model can be captured as a new snapshot.
Note: Every new Inventor Publisher document opens with a default new snapshot. The snapshot is active by default. The active Snapshot can be identified in the Storyboard Editor by the highlighted corners of its thumbnail image.
