Restore a Project from Snapshot

note

Note: This document applies to the new version of the Projects section in the Design Center. For details on how to perform the same actions in the classic version, see Managing Projects > Restore a Project Snapshot.

Restoring a project snapshot allows you to roll back the project to a previously saved version, then continue working from that point. AtScale always takes an auto-snapshot before restoring.

Attention: Snapshots are taken at the project level, saving the state of all cubes that are in the project at the point in time that a snapshot is taken. If, subsequent to taking a snapshot, you create another cube in the same project and later decide to restore the project to the state captured in the snapshot, the new cube is deleted. For example, suppose that a project contains cubes C1, C2, and C3. You take a snapshot of the project. Then, as you work more in the project, you create cube C4. Later, you decide to restore the project to its state as captured in the snapshot. Because cube C4 did not exist when the snapshot was taken, restoring the project state causes cube C4 to be deleted.

Procedure​

To restore a snapshot from the overview page for a project:

  1. Choose Projects from the main Design Center navigation.
  2. Choose the project for which you want to restore a snapshot.
  3. In the right part of the screen choose Snapshots.
  4. Find the snapshot name in the Current Snapshots list, and choose Restore.
  5. Confirm the action in the notification popup.

To restore a project snapshot from the Cube Designer canvas of a cube that is part of the project:

  1. Open the cube canvas for a cube in the project where you want to restore a snapshot.
  2. Open the Snapshots panel on the cube canvas (indicated by a camera icon).
  3. Locate the snapshot you want to restore, and select Restore from its action menu.
  4. Confirm the action in the notification popup.

Results​

The project is overwritten with the selected snapshot version. If Auto Snapshot is enabled on your user profile, a new Autosnapshot before restore version is added to snapshots list.
