To improve backup management and recovery workflows, we have added the ability to attach metadata to manual snapshots. This allows for providing critical context for on-demand backups beyond the standard system timestamp.

**Updates & Navigation**

- **Description Field:** A new text input has been added to the On-Demand Backup creation flow and the individual backup Details panel.
- **Inline Editing:** Descriptions can be added or edited post-creation; changes persist instantly via a background update without requiring a full page refresh.
- **Visual Identification:** Descriptions are now displayed prominently in the Backups list, allowing for faster identification during restoration tasks.

**How to Get Started**

Access the **Backups & Restores** tab for any site. When creating a new manual backup or viewing an existing one, look for the **Description** field to add your notes.
