Fiction Archive add-on
Fiction Archive Snapshots
Named manuscript states for comparison, selective restoration, portable JSON export and controlled recovery of one complete Work.
Preserve deliberate stages of a manuscript
A snapshot records one parent Work and its active descendants at a deliberate point, such as before a structural edit or after completing a draft.
It is a saved state for comparison and restoration, not a live duplicate manuscript and not a complete WordPress or hosting backup.

Main capabilities
Named snapshots
Capture a Work with a clear name and private note explaining the stage.
Comparison
Identify changed, missing, current-only and matching items without altering the manuscript.
Selective restoration
Choose individual items and data groups to restore after a separate review and confirmation.
Missing-item recreation
Recreate selected missing items when the required parent structure is available.
Match snapshot state
Deliberately move selected current-only items to WordPress Trash when exact-state restoration is enabled.
Portable snapshots
Export and import a private JSON snapshot with cross-site matching and remapping controls.
Snapshots complement Core backup
Use Core JSON backup for the current Fiction Archive data and a hosting or database backup for the complete site. Snapshots are best used for named manuscript stages and selective recovery.
- Create a current backup before restoring important material.
- Store exported snapshot files privately.
- Deactivation retains snapshot records for later reactivation.
