The best documentation currently for Cypress.log can be found in this great blog post: https://filiphric.com/improve-your-custom-command-logs-in-cypress Everything in there is accurate.

@fzyzcjy from experiments we have made it looks like this snapshot function is responsible for taking DOM snapshots for the Cypress runner, but I don’t know yet how to use it 😉

Edit: from the example above I can guess that you can take 2 snapshots “before” and “after” and they will be displayed for your custom log when you click on it, just like you would click on a cy.click() command
