Adding Snapshots to Story

You can add snapshots of your report to a Story. If the original report is deleted or republished , after its snapshot has already been included in a Story, then this will be reflected in the Story - the snapshot will be replaced with a placeholder to signify the missing imageinvalid or inaccessible content. This is because a snapshot is a static version of a report, and changes applied to a report would result in the snapshot being no longer valid.
