# Core Capabilities

Snapshot is built around two core capabilities: point-in-time catalog backups and product-level version history.

Together, they provide both:

* Full-store recovery for major incidents
* Granular change tracking for day-to-day operations

This ensures teams can recover quickly while maintaining full visibility into catalog changes.
