# Build a delivery snapshot

> A snapshot is an immutable copy of the UAT work you recorded. Build it, then deliver. Later runs do not rewrite it.

**Build delivery snapshot** saves the sent version. Like emailing a PDF and not editing the source after.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Finish the run you intend to send">
    Completing vs aborting should match reality. Open findings should be in a state you're willing to show.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Build delivery snapshot">
    The copy is **immutable**. Screenshots and results in *this* snapshot won't pick up a later retest.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Deliver UAT">
    Requires **ACTIVE** connection, title, project, plan. [Can't deliver](/troubleshooting/cant-deliver).
  </Step>
</Steps>

Retest round = new run + new snapshot (or a new delivery on the same connection). Don't promise you'll edit the old snapshot.
