EXPORT to save model as it is NOW, regardless of the future revisions?

I have a print that has gone though a lot of revisions, tweaking speed/temps/acceleration etc, to produce the fit and finish I want in the final product.

I want to export a complete snapshot of a print including everything sliced about the model & filament profile and that exact layer /quality profile. AND I want that snapshot to be exactly how I had it at that time regardless of how I have changed the layer height or filament profiles since.

Is that possible?
And which export function does this?

(On a side note, if the title can’t be more than 70 characters, why can I input more that 70 characters?)

Welcome!
Under File, select ‘Save Project As’ and save it. It will save your model and settings just as they are regardless of what you change later.

I’ll add that if you use something to indicate revision such as rev1.0 and/or the date using underscore to separate the numbers eg, 7_31_23, you will be able to track your changes more readily. If it gets too unwieldy, use a text file to document what the rev number indicates rather than trying to wedge it into the file name. I have over 7,000 files in my 3D printing folders, keeping track of them is a challenge.

Including if I change the process (height) or Filament parameters? It stores those in the 3MF for ever (so to speak)?

My experience is that it will save the AMS spool position you had when you last saved the project so be certain you load the same filament in the same slot when you print (for AMS). I’m not sure about the filament parameters.

If you load a project with a process that differs from the latest version of that process, you will get the settings as you originally saved them and the name of the process will have an asterisk next to it. The asterisk indicates that the process settings differ from the process’ latest version. If you drill down into the process tabs, the differences will be highlighted in orange.

The same applies to filaments and printer definitions.

Why not use the export plate option? This will store the raw gcode. This is the best option for storing a snapshot IMO.
