Feedback:
It is very good to be able to go back to a former, working setup, but I expected something like a snapshot as VMware have.
But it seems that selecting default environment will boot into the latest configuration, i.e. including all the later changes.
I miss a way to go back to a certain point, before the settings got wrong ;-(

I read your explanation in a way that clicking on a white star should reestablish the config at that point in time, but it is not what I get.

Probably I misunderstand the terminology for "quick create", "Create/Clone" and "persistent".

I found it rather confusing, and a bit frustrating - after I had made some changes that invalidated DNS functions. I could not go back to the configuration from a few days ago!

The environments is a very new facility, but an explanation with some real examples to get back to a specific state would be very valuable.

Yours
