Snapshot 3. You can rename them using the Rename button.

A window appears containing a Stop Rig Edit Mode button. The appearance of this window
indicates that you are in Rig Edit Mode.

Animation menus on page 381 and Add a rig to a project on page 371.
How snapshots are saved
Snapshots are saved in the widget. Any parameter aected by a snapshot is persistently
displayed in the widget (even if that parameter is unmodied by the current snapshot setting).
Parameter controls in widgets are duplicates of the parameter controls they are linked to.
For checkbox widgets, there are two snapshots: one for the selected state and one for the
deselected state. Making changes to the linked parameters aects the snapshot for the current
state of the checkbox.
For pop-up menu widgets, there are as many snapshots as there are menu items. Add menu
items by clicking the Add button (+) to the right of the pop-up menu in the Widget Inspector.
Making changes to the parameters aects the selected pop-up menu item.
