# Snapshots
### What is a Snapshot?
A "Snapshot" is a screenshot that Plus can automatically take for you, over and over, on a schedule or on demand.
### Taking a Snapshot
Taking a Snapshot with the Plus browser extension
You can take a Snapshot of virtually any site or app that you can access in a browser.
1. Navigate to the page with the dashboard or chart you want to capture.
2. Open the Plus extension and click on "Take a Snapshot." Or use the Shift + Cmd + S shortcut (Shift + Ctrl + S on Windows)
3. A new window will pop up where you can take the Snapshot.
4. Scroll to the chart or area you want to capture. Click and drag to draw a box to capture your Snapshot, just like taking a screenshot.
{% hint style="success" %}
On [some apps and sites](/other/live-snapshots/snapshots/sites-with-smart-capture.md), we also highlight the most commonly captured content and offer a one click capture option. These elements will be outlined in blue and you can click "Take Snapshot" to capture them.
{% endhint %}
Your Snapshot is now queued and will be processed automatically. You can immediately rename your Snapshot or change how often it automatically refreshes. You can also take another Snapshot on the same page or close this recording window.
As soon as you take a Snapshot, it will appear in your extension and app in a pending state. It can take up to a minute for a Snapshot to finish processing.
### Viewing your Snapshots
Your Snapshots are created in your [Drafts](/other/live-snapshots/drafts-and-team-spaces.md) by default. You can always find all the Snapshots you have taken and the Team Snapshots you have access to in the web app at [app.plusdocs.com](https://app.plusdocs.com).
You can also find the most recent Snapshots you've taken in your Plus extension. Click on them to open them in Plus.
You can find all your Snapshots in the Plus web app
### Refreshing Snapshots
By default, newly taken Snapshots will automatically refresh every day. You can update this setting in [Snapshot settings](/other/live-snapshots/snapshots/snapshot-settings.md).
You can also refresh a Snapshot at any time.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://guide.plusai.com/other/live-snapshots/snapshots.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
