What is this for?

The Snapshot is a simple and immediate way to make a record of a page or a set of pages that you have opened and want to be able to share... It allows you to generate a link (a "URL") that you can email to anyone, which will open just those pages that you have got opened on your Desktop at this time.

This is one of a number of Comparing and Sharing functions that TiddlyManuals contain.

What do I do?

1. Get the page or pages that you are interested in opened up on your Desktop.
2. Open the Sidebar and find the little Camera icon beside the Currently Open list:



3. Click the SNAPSHOT button
4. Have a look at your browser's Address box (where the web address or "URL" goes that sends the browser to the right web page.)
5. Copy the new URL (web address) that is in the browser's address box.
6. Paste that address into the body of an email (or anywhere you want to save it).
7. Next time you or the person who receives the email click that link, it will open the manual with exactly those same pages already opened up.

Why?

This can be very helpful in Team Meetings or in supervision sessions: case discussion may involve looking at content from the manual and this can be emailed directly to the worker.
This function is also known as "permaview" - clicking here does exactly the same thing (try it!)
