-# Import, export, and print a snapshot
-
->❗This feature is only available on v1 dashboards, it hasn't been port-forwarded to v2.
-> For more information on accessing dashboards check [this documentation](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/category-overview-pages/accessing-netdata-dashboards.md).
-
-
-Netdata can export snapshots of the contents of your dashboard at a given time, which you can then import into any other
-node running Netdata. Or, you can create a print-ready version of your dashboard to save to PDF or actually print to
-paper.
-
-Snapshots can be incredibly useful for diagnosing anomalies after they've already happened. Let's say Netdata triggered a warning alert while you were asleep. In the morning, you can [select the
-timeframe](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/dashboard/visualization-date-and-time-controls.md) when the alert triggered, export a snapshot, and send it to a
-
-colleague for further analysis.
-
-Or, send the Netdata team a snapshot of your dashboard when [filing a bug
-report](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/issues/new?assignees=&labels=bug%2Cneeds+triage&template=BUG_REPORT.yml) on
-GitHub.

-## Import a snapshot
-
-To import a snapshot, click on the **import** icon ![Import
-icon](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netdata/netdata-ui/98e31799c1ec0983f433537ff16d2ac2b0d994aa/src/components/icon/assets/upload.svg)
-in the top panel.
-
-Select the Netdata snapshot file to import. Once the file is loaded, the modal updates with information about the
-snapshot and the system from which it was taken. Click **Import** to begin to process.
-
-Netdata takes the data embedded inside the snapshot and re-creates a static replica on your dashboard. When the import
-finishes, you're free to move around and examine the charts.
-
-Some caveats and tips to keep in mind:
-
-- Only metrics in the export timeframe are available to you. If you zoom out or pan through time, you'll see the
- beginning and end of the snapshot.
-- Charts won't update with new information, as you're looking at a static replica, not the live dashboard.
-- The import is only temporary. Reload your browser tab to return to your node's real-time dashboard.
-
-## Export a snapshot
-
-To export a snapshot, first pan/zoom any chart to an appropriate _visible timeframe_. The export snapshot will only
-contain the metrics you see in charts, so choose the most relevant timeframe.
-
-Next, click on the **export** icon ![Export
-icon](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netdata/netdata-ui/98e31799c1ec0983f433537ff16d2ac2b0d994aa/src/components/icon/assets/download.svg)
-in the top panel.
-
-Select the metrics resolution to export. The default is 1-second, equal to how often Netdata collects and stores
-metrics. Lowering the resolution will reduce the number of data points, and thus the snapshot's overall size.
-
-Edit the snapshot file name and select your desired compression method. Click on **Export**. When the export is
-complete, your browser will prompt you to save the `.snapshot` file to your machine.
-
-## Print a snapshot
-
-To print a snapshot, click on the **print** icon ![Import
-icon](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netdata/netdata-ui/98e31799c1ec0983f433537ff16d2ac2b0d994aa/src/components/icon/assets/print.svg)
-in the top panel.
-
-When you click **Print**, Netdata opens a new window to render every chart. This might take some time. When finished,
-Netdata opens a browser print dialog for you to save to PDF or print.
