How to Use Assets Protected Snapshots in GoHighLevel
If you manage digital assets in ClickUp and want similar protection inside GoHighLevel, assets protected snapshots give you tight control over how your work is shared and reused. This guide shows you step-by-step how to create, manage, and share protected snapshots so your funnels, workflows, and other assets stay secure.
Assets protected snapshots in GoHighLevel (formerly called IP-protected snapshots) are designed for agencies and creators who need to distribute systems while preventing unauthorized copying or reselling.
What Are Assets Protected Snapshots in GoHighLevel?
Assets protected snapshots in GoHighLevel are special snapshots that restrict how recipients can use the assets you share. Unlike normal snapshots, these are built to protect your intellectual property and paid resources.
They let you:
- Share assets with controlled access
- Prevent recipients from copying or extracting pieces of your work
- Limit where and how your assets can be used
- Safeguard premium offers, templates, and frameworks
These protections are especially useful if you sell systems, courses, or templates built inside GoHighLevel and want to keep the underlying structure private.
Key Features of GoHighLevel Assets Protected Snapshots
When you turn on protection for a snapshot, GoHighLevel gives you several built-in restrictions to keep your content secure.
Copy Protection in GoHighLevel Snapshots
With an assets protected snapshot, GoHighLevel can block the ability to:
- Copy or duplicate certain assets to other accounts
- Extract funnels, websites, or workflows outside the intended environment
- Clone your structure for resale or redistribution
This means your original asset structure remains tied to you, while still allowing clients or partners to use the system as intended.
Centralized Control in GoHighLevel
Assets protected snapshots also let you keep centralized control from your agency account. You can:
- Decide who gets access to the snapshot
- Update assets and push changes when supported
- Revoke access by stopping sharing of a snapshot
This central control ensures your GoHighLevel environment stays consistent across multiple sub-accounts while protecting your proprietary content.
How to Create an Assets Protected Snapshot in GoHighLevel
Follow these steps to create an assets protected snapshot in your GoHighLevel agency account. Exact labels may vary slightly, but the overall process is the same.
Step 1: Open the Snapshots Area
- Log in to your agency-level GoHighLevel account.
- Navigate to the Agency view or dashboard.
- Find and open the Snapshots section in the main navigation.
This is where you can see all existing snapshots and create new ones.
Step 2: Start a New Snapshot
- Click the button to Create New Snapshot or similar.
- Enter a clear name for your snapshot that reflects the assets it contains.
- Select the sub-account or assets you want to include in the snapshot.
Choose only the assets you actually want to share or protect to keep your package focused and easier to manage.
Step 3: Enable Assets Protection in GoHighLevel
- Within the snapshot setup, look for an option related to Assets Protection or previously IP Protected.
- Turn this protection setting ON for the snapshot.
- Review any on-screen notes describing what will be restricted when enabled.
Once assets protection is enabled, GoHighLevel will apply the corresponding rules and limitations to the snapshot and the accounts that install it.
Step 4: Configure Additional Snapshot Details
Depending on your configuration, you may be able to:
- Add a description explaining what the snapshot includes
- Specify targeted sub-accounts or users
- Adjust any advanced sharing options made available in GoHighLevel
Use clear descriptions so recipients immediately understand the purpose and scope of the protected assets.
Step 5: Save and Generate Your Protected Snapshot
- Review your settings carefully, especially the assets protection toggle.
- Click Save or Create to finalize the snapshot.
- Wait for GoHighLevel to generate the snapshot; this may take a few moments depending on size.
After the snapshot is created, you will receive a shareable link or access options you can send to clients or partners.
How to Share a Protected Snapshot in GoHighLevel
Once an assets protected snapshot is ready, you can share it in a controlled way.
Step 1: Access the Snapshot Listing
- Return to the Snapshots section in your agency account.
- Locate the newly created assets protected snapshot in the list.
- Open its actions menu or details view.
Step 2: Generate a Share Link or Add Accounts
From the snapshot actions, you can typically:
- Generate a share/installation link for external users
- Assign the snapshot to specific sub-accounts directly
- Control whether the link is active or disabled
Because the snapshot is assets protected, GoHighLevel will enforce the protections when the recipient installs it.
Step 3: Send Instructions to Recipients
When you send the snapshot link to a client or partner, include:
- A brief explanation that this is an assets protected snapshot
- What they can do (use inside their account) and cannot do (copy or resell)
- Any conditions tied to your licensing or agreements
Clear expectations help prevent confusion about what is allowed with protected assets inside GoHighLevel.

Snapshot Will Not Install
