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.
While using InstaWP, you can do the following related to Snapshots:
Functions | Description |
|---|---|
Creating & managing snapshots | How to create, edit, and control snapshots for your projects. |
Snapshot types | Understand the difference between private snapshots (for personal use) and shared snapshots (for demos and public use). |
Customization options | Configure setup details, sharing permissions, branding, and expiry times for demo sites. |
Using snapshots in workflows | Instantly create new sites from snapshots, track statistics, and integrate with external tools using webhooks. |
Collaboration & control | Manage who can access staging sites built from your snapshots and how long they remain active. |
Shared Snapshot | Make the snapshot available for sharing or collaboration. |
Instant Snapshot | Enables faster creation of the snapshot. |
Why you should go through this:
- Developers: For building and sharing plugin/theme demos quickly.
- Agencies: For delivering professional, branded demos or staging sites to clients.
- Educators & trainers: For creating ready-made learning environments that reset automatically.
