Snapshots Overview
Snapshots let you save the exact state of a WordPress site so you can reuse, share, or showcase it later. Think of them as site blueprints. You capture once, and then recreate that environment anytime, anywhere.
Snapshots Overview
Snapshots act like blueprints. Once created, they can be cloned, shared, branded, and even automated with webhooks.
