# View snapshots

View the snapshots of all deployables for an application on the **Details** tab for the application. The release pipeline can access only a snapshot that is the currently published version.

## Before you begin

**Important:** DevOps Config is now deprecated and no longer supported or available for new activation.

Role required: cdm\_viewer

## Procedure

1.  Open an application and select the **Snapshots** tab.

    The tab lists all deployables that are associated with the application. Each deployable displays a short list of its snapshots. Select **Show all** to view the full list of snapshots.

 When a snapshot is generated, the system uses the deployable name and the snapshot number to generate a default name \(for example, `deployableName_1`, `deployableName_2`\). You can edit the name.

 **Tip:** You can edit the name on the **Details** tab. Select the snapshot name to open the tab.
