As the name implies, Helm kanvas snapshot plugin can only use **Helm Charts** as the deployment source. When you use the plugin, <a href="https://docs.meshery.io/extensions/kanvas-snapshot" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kanvas Snapshot</a> takes your chart, renders the manifests, and generates a Design from it based on Meshery’s declarative syntax. That Design is then stored and rendered as an immutable snapshot you can view through a public link.

The Helm kanvas snapshot is useful in many ways. It doesn't require you to be authenticated to use the plugin, so it's very quick to get started. Also, if you provide a valid email address, the snapshot is sent directly to your inbox after it is generated, this is most helpful as it can take a few moment to render. One thing to note is that, Once created, the snapshot is immutable. This makes it a stable reference that you can share in Slack, attach to pull requests, or store alongside your deployment documentation.
