# Snapshots
You can use snapshots to save a group of IFX as a single object, which you can then place in a Session or the Experience Editor. For more information about how to create a snapshot, see [Saving a snapshot](/engage/advanced-features/snapshots/saving-a-snapshot.md).
Snapshots are useful to plan the look of your scene in advance and reload them at a moment's notice. If your requirements change, you can ungroup the snapshot, modify the objects, and then create a new snapshot.
## Adding a snapshot to a experience
1. If the timeline view isn't active in the editor panel, select the timeline icon (
).
2. From the panel on the left-hand side, select 
**Snapshot**.
3. From the list of snapshots, select the one that you want to add.
4. On the file information page, select **Load**.
5. In the **Load IFX Snapshot** prompt, select **Load**.
6. Place the snapshot in the environment.
After you place the snapshot, it becomes an object in the environment. For more information about how to modify the snapshot, see [Modifying objects](/engage/advanced-features/modifying-objects.md).
## Snapshot effect options
For instructions on how to access effect options, see [Effect options](/engage/experience-editor/working-with-objects/effect-options.md). For snapshots, the only additional effect option is to **Set Original Position**. Select this option to place your snapshot in the original position that it was created.
{% hint style="info" %}
The Set Original Position \*\*\*\* option is location dependent. If you place a snapshot in a different location than it was originally captured, you will have to manually decide on its placement.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.engagevr.io/engage/experience-editor/working-with-objects/snapshots.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
