What is Trello Board Snapshot?
"Trello Board Snapshot" is a Chrome extension designed for effective management and tracking of Trello boards. It allows users to create a snapshot of all existing cards on a board, converting them into checklists on a single card. This function is especially useful when work needs to be distributed across multiple teams. The extension also facilitates follow-up on all tasks, regardless of their current location. A unique feature of the extension is its ability to generate functioning links for each checklist item, providing ease of access to users across various boards.

Extension summary

UPDATE: Version 0.3 now grants the ability to take snapshots of individual lists through the List Actions menu on each list.

This extension grew out if the need to keep track of multiple cards that exist on multiple boards. For us, all of the work to be done is staged on one specific board, then that work is sent out to smaller teams to actually complete the work. With this extension, it is possible to create a snapshot of the central board before all of the cards are sent out to the team boards. All the cards can then be followed up on at a later date, regardless of where the card happens to be.

Currently, the user is required to manually create a list titled 'Board Snapshots' which will then be populated with a card containing checklists of all the visible cards on the board. Each checklist item is a link that will function no matter where the card goes, so long as the user clicking the link has access to the board where the card now resides.

Please share any feedback or requests through comments here in the store. I am open to updating the extension if there is a use for it in the community.

Could not use. Did not find a Create List Snapshot option in the List Actions as someone else mentioned in their review, or find any instructions on how to use. Maybe it doesn't work anymore? Gave 2 stars because it sounds like a great! Would totally change my review if I could just figure out how to use it...

Did not work at all, tried following the developer instructions, nothing happened, tried following the instructions in the comments, nothing happened. What a shame, would have been great if it actually worked.
