Save, Restore & Export Timer Snapshots
UbiTimer allows you to create snapshots of your timer configuration. This includes your appearance settings, behaviour settings, and display preferences.
What Is a Snapshot?
A snapshot saves your current timer configuration so you can restore it later. This is useful if you switch between different presentation styles or timer behaviours.
How to Save a Snapshot
- Open the UbiTimer task pane.
- Configure your timer (size, appearance, behaviour, alarm, etc.).
- Go to the Snapshots section.
- Click Save Snapshot.
Your current timer configuration will now be stored.
How to Restore a Snapshot
- Open the Snapshots section.
- Select the saved configuration.
- Click Restore.
Your timer settings will instantly update to match the saved snapshot.
Load a Snapshot
If you have multiple saved configurations:
- Select the snapshot you want to use.
- Click Load.
This applies the saved configuration to your current presentation.
Export Timer Settings
You can export your snapshot settings for backup or sharing.
- Go to the Snapshots section.
- Select the snapshot.
- Click Export.
This creates a file containing your timer configuration, which can be imported later.
When Should You Use Snapshots?
- Switching between classroom and conference layouts
- Maintaining consistent branding across presentations
