If you have taken snapshots previously you can manage them from the same Snapshot option.

From there you can select a snapshot and restore the cloud to that state pressing the button Restore.

FWCloud-UI will ask if you want to take a snapshot of the current state before to proceed.

When restoring you can see how the progress is going on in the form

When the process is done you can close the window

You will see a pop up message indicating the restore from the snapshot has been done successfully

No needed snapshots can be deleted. Select the snapshot from the form ans clik Delete button
