Description

File snapshots for Azure Data Lake Storage are now available in preview. Use file snapshots to take an unlimited number of point-in-time snapshots of your files. These snapshots can be used to revert a file back to that snapshot in the case of accidental or inadvertent updates. Snapshots can also be retained so you can reference the content of a file at that point in time.

To learn more, please read the documentation on snapshots.
