 ===What is the difference between Links and Snapshots?===
-When you save a link to your library Zotero will save the ability to return to the site. When you save a snapshot to your library Zotero saves a copy of the page as it currently is and archives it on your computer.
+When you attach a link to an item, Zotero stores only the page title, URL, and access date, and you need to return to the site to view the page content. When you save a snapshot, Zotero saves a copy of the page as it currently exists and archives it on your computer.
