## Creating a snapshot reference
32+
33+
1. Open your App Configuration store in the Azure portal.
34+
2. Select **Configuration Explorer**.
35+
3. Choose **Create**.
36+
4. Select **Snapshot reference**.
37+
5. Enter a key for the reference. Optionally set a label.
38+
6. Choose the target snapshot name from the list (or enter it).
39+
7. Select **Create**.
40+
41+
Once created, the snapshot reference appears alongside other key-values in Configuration Explorer.

## Consuming snapshot references

No new code is required to use a snapshot reference. If the key for a snapshot reference is part of the selected key-values when building configuration, the provider automatically resolves and loads the referenced snapshot's key-values. Compare this to direct snapshot usage where you explicitly call an API such as `SelectSnapshot("SnapshotName")`, fixing the snapshot choice at startup so switching later requires a code change or redeployment.
