Creating snapshots

Snapshots in Visual SourceSafe are created with the Snapshot tool.

To open the Snapshot tool and create a new snapshot:

  2. Enter a label in the Snapshot Label field.
  3. Mark whether you want to ignore files that have no associations.
  4. Choose which project/subprojects you want to include in the snapshot.
  5. Click Finish.

    The Snapshot is created.

  6. Repeat Step 2 through Step 5 to create any additional snapshots.
  7. When finished, click Done.
Tip: To include files in a snapshot, first check them in.
