Tip

Snapshot is created via few different options either automatically or manually. For example,

  • Developer performs build using Release from project screen.
  • Build is created due to Continuous Integration setup on project screen and code is committed to source control system.
  • User performs promote to release on specific version.
  • Entire snapshot is built using details defined on this page. This option is useful if you are 1) initiating build on many projects by selecting New for Project Version, 2) recreating snapshot from previous snapshot with few versions reverted to previous version if necessary.

All these options can be initiated from UI or REST API.
