Capture the pipeline output as a downloadable, embeddable snapshot in CSV, XLSX or TSV.
Data Snapshot is one of the pipeline’s output steps. It takes a snapshot of the data as it stands at that point in the pipeline.
The step provides a download link, a code snippet for embedding the data on a website or in an insight, and optionally an excerpt of the pipeline result. Links are available in CSV, XLSX and TSV.
A snapshot is a point-in-time capture. If you need output that stays current as sources update, use Publish dataset instead.
Produce an auto-updating dataset rather than a snapshot.
Chart data
Visualize the same output.
