Use Snapshots to backtrack and restore your work in Sip. Whether you accidentally deleted a color or made unwanted changes, Snapshots help you go back to a specific point in time.

​
What Are Snapshots?

Snapshots capture the state of your color data at a particular moment. Think of them as backups for your palettes. You can access Snapshots by going to:
  • Preferences > Snapshots

​
How Snapshots Work

  • Sip automatically creates Snapshots based on your selected frequency.
  • You can also manually create a Snapshot at any time.

​
Creating Snapshots

You can select how often Sip automatically saves Snapshots:
  • Never — No automatic snapshots are created.
  • Minute — A new snapshot is created every minute. Use this for frequent changes.
  • Hour — A new snapshot is created every hour. Useful for regular backups.
  • Day — A new snapshot is created once a day. Use this for less frequent updates.

​
Snapshots UI

Why Snapshots Matter
