    Scene snapshots

    Save the state of a scene and return to it later, for example before an encounter.

    A snapshot saves a scene as it is now, so that you can reset the scene to that state later. It keeps the tokens, pins, fog, drawings, initiative and everything else on the map.

    Each scene has its own snapshots. To use a group of tokens in other scenes, save it as an encounter. See Save and spawn encounters.

    Open the snapshots

    1. Press Space to open the command palette.

    2. Click Scene snapshots. The Scene Snapshots panel opens and shows the snapshots of the current scene, newest first.

      The Scene Snapshots panel with two saved snapshots.

    Save a snapshot

    1. Set up the scene the way you want to keep it. For example, place the monsters and cover the rooms with fog.

    2. In the Scene Snapshots panel, click New snapshot. Atlas saves the scene with a picture of the map and a name like "Snapshot 1".

      Save a snapshot before the encounter starts.

    3. Click the name to rename the snapshot. Press Enter to keep the new name.

    Restore a snapshot

    1. In the Scene Snapshots panel, click the picture of the snapshot.

    2. Click Restore to confirm. The scene goes back to how it was in the snapshot.

      Restore a snapshot to reset the scene after the encounter.

    Manage snapshots

    Right-click a snapshot to Restore or Rename it. Overwrite with current map replaces the snapshot with the scene as it is now. Delete removes the snapshot, and the scene does not change.

    Point at the time under a snapshot to see the exact date it was saved.
