A snapshot group is a defined data bundle that includes an analysis run and n number of snapshots that can be used for comparison reporting.  When this collection is defined, it can be used for tracking changes against recommendations made within an analysis run.  This type of information may be made available via dashboards or other reports that show course changes over time, new courses added, courses removed, and other possible schedule changes.
