Hi Lucy, The link to the ovirt page has a lot of information on this feature. Essentially, it appears that where you could only click 'Create' in the 'Snapshots' sub-tab of a virtual machine and enter a small description of the snapshot, there is now a drop-down menu with some more features. This will require a bit of investigation into how it works, a screen capture or two and and updated procedure. Possibly a new topic on how to use new options, if any.
Tested: These features are available in both the Admin Portal and the User Portal. Create Snapshot window works as described. Preview (Custom) window works as described. Procedure updated in Administration and User Guides. Added a new section to User Guide re Preview/Custom function (which appears not to have been available in the User Portal previously).
