A Snapshot is a view-only copy of your ClearPoint account captured at a specific point in time.


Snapshots allow you to preserve a historical record of your account, track progress over time, and compare different versions of your strategic plan.

📘 Available for Professional Plans and above.


Creating a Snapshot

  1. From the top navigation, click System Settings.

  2. Select Audit & Recovery.

  1. Navigate to the Snapshots tab.

  2. Click the + Add Archive button in the top right corner.

  3. A default Snapshot Name.

  4. Click Save to begin the process.


You’ll receive an email notification once the snapshot is complete and available to access.

💡 Tip: Snapshots capture all Scorecards, Elements, and Reports exactly as they appear at that moment.
