Working with Snapshots and Undo Disks 153
Note. You cannot delete the root icon, but it gets automatically deleted after you delete all the
other snapshots.
To merge snapshots
Merging takes place automatically when you delete any snapshot except the last one in the
branch. When you delete an intermediate snapshot, the information it contains is merged to the
next snapshot of the same branch.
If you delete the snapshot belonging to two branches, the information is merged to the next
snapshot of each branch.
Note. If you delete the snapshot that comes after the root icon and that belongs to two branches,
the branches will start from the initial state icon directly.
Working with Undo Disks
The Undo Disks option allows users either commit or reverse the changes, that were made
during the current virtual machine session to its virtual disks. The current version of Parallels
Desktop allows applying this option only to all disks of the virtual machine at once.
Warning. Not all operations can be undone even if you enabled the Undo disks option.
Operations performed via the virtual machine, for example, changes made to Mac OS X files
cannot be discarded, transactions performed in the network data base cannot be canceled.
You can enable the Undo Disks option on the Advanced tab of Options in Configuration Editor.
For details, see Advanced Options (page 163).
When you set this option, you also have to choose the action performed on the virtual machine
shutdown:
1 Apply Changes
2 Discard changes
3 Ask me what to do
