Reports vs Snapshots

A report is a live, editable workspace where you explore and visualize data. A snapshot is a saved, point-in-time version of that report — perfect for sharing or referencing later without the data changing.

Reports: Your Live Workspace

Reports are dynamic and interactive. They pull in the most up-to-date data from your listings, markets, and dynamic sets, allowing you to analyze performance in real time. You can edit layout, adjust filters, add or remove cards, and change time periods as needed. Think of a report as your ongoing workspace — always current and fully customizable.

Snapshots: Your Saved Moments

Snapshots capture the exact state of a report at a specific point in time. Once created, a snapshot freezes all charts, tables, and metrics so they reflect the data as it was on that date. This makes snapshots ideal for performance reviews, team updates, or client reporting — ensuring everyone sees the same numbers, even as live data continues to update elsewhere.

How They Work Together

You can create multiple snapshots from the same report over time to track changes or highlight progress. For example, you might take a monthly snapshot of your performance report to compare results month over month. Reports help you analyze today; snapshots help you remember and share what you learned.
