# Snapshots carry the message when an image is withheld

The [Snapshot API](/reference/snapshot-api/overview) now exports and imports the message the AI Agent says when it withholds a sensitive image, in the `image_redactions_message` section. The section is one value: your sentence, or `null` when the Agent uses the default sentence.

* **Export**: the snapshot carries your sentence, or `null`.
* **Import**: if the section is present, the import replaces the message on the target Agent. `null` restores the default sentence. If the section is absent, the message does not change.
* **Validate**: a `mode: validate` run reports whether the import changes the message.
* **Audit log**: if the import changes the message, it writes one **Updated** row for **Image Redactions Message**.
