Taking and Reverting to a Snapshot Taking and Reverting to a Snapshot
VMware Workstation lets you take snapshots of a virtual machine at any time. A snapshot preserves the state of all virtual machine disks and whether the virtual machine was powered on, powered off or suspended.
You can take a new snapshot or revert to one at any time. When you revert to a snapshot, you discard all changes made to the virtual machine since you took that snapshot. Multiple snapshots allow you to preserve different states of the same virtual machine.
Use the Take Snapshot and Revert buttons on the Workstation toolbar to take a snapshot and revert to it later. For more information, including examples of ways you can use snapshots, see Using Snapshots.
