How to Use Snapshots in the New GoHighLevel UI
The new snapshots interface makes it easier than ClickUp-style workflows to track, compare, and publish account changes inside GoHighLevel. This step-by-step guide shows you how to understand the new design system UI so you can manage updates safely and consistently.
This article is based on the official product documentation and walks you through each part of the snapshots experience, from viewing details to publishing changes to your connected sub-accounts.
What Are Snapshots in GoHighLevel?
Snapshots in GoHighLevel are packaged collections of assets and settings that you can deploy across one or more accounts. They help agencies standardize funnels, automations, and resources, and keep them synchronized as you evolve your systems.
The new design system UI introduces a modern layout that clearly shows what is being added, removed, or modified in each snapshot version. You can inspect changes before publishing and make informed decisions about deploying updates.
Accessing the New GoHighLevel Snapshot UI
To work with the updated interface, open your agency view and navigate to the snapshots section. Once there, you will see a dedicated area for:
- Viewing snapshot details and metadata
- Reviewing current content included in a snapshot
- Comparing differences between versions
- Publishing a version to connected accounts
The layout is organized into panels and tabs so you can quickly move between high-level overview information and itemized changes.
Understanding the GoHighLevel Snapshot Detail Header
At the top of the snapshot page, a header block summarizes key information about the selected snapshot.
Snapshot title and description
The header displays the snapshot name and a short description so you can immediately identify its purpose, such as a niche template or an internal framework.
Version and status indicators
Within the header, you will find indicators that show:
- The active snapshot version number
- Whether the version is a draft or currently published
- When it was last updated
These details help you see where you are in the version history and what is live in your connected GoHighLevel accounts.
Actions available in the header
Depending on your permissions and the state of the snapshot, you may see action buttons in the header, such as:
- Opening the version comparison view
- Publishing the current version
- Accessing more advanced options from a menu
Reviewing Snapshot Content in GoHighLevel
Beneath the header, the new design system UI presents a structured view of all content included in the selected snapshot version.
Content categories
The content area is typically organized into categories such as:
- Funnels and pages
- Automations and workflows
- Forms and surveys
- Websites or landing page assets
- Pipelines and CRM configurations
This categorization helps you understand the scope of what the snapshot will affect in your GoHighLevel environments.
Item-level visibility
Inside each category, the UI shows a list of specific items that are part of the snapshot. You can inspect these items to verify that the right assets are included before publishing.
In some cases, the system may highlight whether an item is new, modified, or removed compared to a prior version. This helps you anticipate the exact impact on your sub-accounts.
How to Compare Snapshot Versions in GoHighLevel
One of the most useful parts of the new design system UI is the version comparison feature. It lets you see what has changed between the current version and a previous one.
Opening the comparison view
Follow these steps to compare versions in your GoHighLevel snapshot:
- Go to the snapshots section in your agency account.
- Select the snapshot you want to review.
- Use the version selector or history control to choose the version you want to compare.
- Open the comparison view from the header or an options menu.
Understanding change indicators
Within the comparison view, the UI typically indicates three types of changes:
- Added – New items that will be introduced when you publish the snapshot version.
- Modified – Existing items that have been updated, such as adjusted automations or redesigned pages.
- Removed – Items that will be deleted or no longer synced to connected accounts.
These indicators help you quickly understand the impact of deploying the new version of your GoHighLevel snapshot.
Best practices when comparing versions
- Scan each category for removed items to avoid unintentionally deleting active assets.
- Check modified workflows to ensure automation logic still matches your business rules.
- Confirm newly added items are fully configured and branded before publishing.
How to Publish a Snapshot Version in GoHighLevel
After you review the details and compare versions, you can publish the snapshot to push changes to connected accounts.
Steps to publish
- Open the desired snapshot in your agency view.
- Confirm you are on the correct version using the header details.
- Review the content and, if needed, open the comparison view to verify changes.
- Click the publish action button.
- Follow any confirmation prompts to finalize the publish action.
Once published, the snapshot version becomes the active reference for connected GoHighLevel sub-accounts, depending on how you have configured syncing or deployment rules.
What happens after publishing
After publishing a snapshot version:
- New items are created in the connected accounts.
- Modified assets are updated to match the latest version.
- Removed elements are handled according to the snapshot logic for deletions.
Monitoring your accounts after publishing is recommended, especially if the snapshot includes major funnel or automation changes.
Tips for Managing GoHighLevel Snapshots Safely
To get the most from the new design system UI, consider these safety and organization practices.
Name snapshots clearly
Use descriptive, consistent naming for your GoHighLevel snapshots, such as including the niche, offer type, and version. This makes it easier to pick the right snapshot when managing many accounts.
Document your changes
Keep a simple changelog for each snapshot version. Note what was updated, why, and the date. This complements the visual version comparison and helps your team understand the intent behind each release.
Test before broad deployment
Whenever possible, publish a new snapshot version to a limited test account first. Confirm funnels, automations, and pipelines behave as expected before rolling changes out widely.
