Mariner Software StoryMill for Mac - Manual (Page 54)

Snapshots
StoryMillʼs snapshot tool, available in the standard toolbar or via
Tools→Snapshots, allows you to make backup copies of your
work before forging ahead with changes to your story.
Taking a snapshot of your work is especially helpful if you are
about to make experimental additions and edits to your story. You
may find that youʼre unhappy with the changes youʼve made;
having a snapshot will enable you to compare the two versions of
your text and if necessary revert to the earlier one.
To take a snapshot of your novel, chapter, or scene text,
choose Tools→Snapshots→Take Snapshot or simply hit
⌥⌘S.
You will be prompted to enter your snapshotʼs name. After
you enter the name, your snapshot will be available in the
snapshot list.
To see your snapshots, use the button in the standard
toolbar, choose Tools→Snapshots→Show All
Snapshots, or hit ⌥⇧⌘S.
A snapshots window will launch, allowing you to start using your
snapshots.

Tip:
If you are working on a new story, remember to save it
before taking a snapshot. But donʼt worry - if you
forget, StoryMill will prompt you with a standard save
dialog before continuing.
