The Snapshots page displays the current snapshot name in italics
to indicate that at least one parameter has been changed, and the
Channel Faders show you the previous level for each channel in
bright red. Scope Data Type buttons and Channel Scope function-

made to these controls while in Preview mode will remain once
Preview mode is exited).

or Media data associated with the snapshot, click the

Undo and Preview Mode
In Preview mode, you can Undo actions applied to the Snapshot
List (such as Recall, Store, New and Duplicate) without affecting
the online mix.
Multiple levels of Undo are available.
Changing Settings in Preview Mode
The system tracks any changes to settings or to the Snapshot list
while in Preview mode, but only Snapshot list actions create an
Undo point. Choosing Undo will undo the last action you took
while in Preview mode, up to a maximum of 100 levels of Undo.
Any changes made after the last Preview action are also undone
(the Snapshot screen is returned to its exact state prior to the ac-
tion that created the Undo point).

Changing the Snapshot List in Preview Mode
Changes made to the Snapshot list are automatically tracked and
available for Undo, regardless of whether Preview mode is en-
abled or not. This includes any Recall of snapshots triggered by
incoming MIDI or MTC while in Preview mode.
For example, if a MIDI Snapshot Recall occurs while you are in
Preview mode, the online mix will be updated with that snapshot.
Pressing Undo immediately after that Recall will undo that Snap-
shot recall and revert the online mix to its state prior to the Undo.
Consider turning off the Chase MTC option while in Preview
mode to disable all MIDI recall of snapshots. In addition, you can
always use the History feature to recover from any unexpected re-
sults.
Changing MIDI, Plug-In, and Media Data in Preview Mode
Changes made to MIDI, Plug-In, and Media data cannot be un-
done. For more information, see "Adding MIDI, Plug-In, and
Media Data to Snapshots" on page 206.
Take advantage of Tool Tips in the banner display to confirm
what action the Undo button will revert. See "Undoing Snap-
shot Commands" on page 205.
