## Overview

Bookmarks and Snapshots provide a means to return to a report's current state at a later date.

### Types

The three options available are:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| [Bookmarks](https://yellowfin.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/user80/pages/1540480) | Allow you to save the drill paths and filter values you have currently applied to the report in order to reapply them to fresh data at a later date. |
| [Snapshots](https://yellowfin.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/user80/pages/1540470) | Allow you to save the result set of your current report with the drill paths and filters you've currently applied. A snapshot becomes a static report, meaning that you can no longer interact with it, it has been designed to preserve a result set at a point in time to use for comparison later. |
