Is There a Way to 'Bookmark' a Library in Time?

Is there a way to 'bookmark' the way a library is, to be able to look at, ie Charts & Graphs, from that point in time even after it changes? Like if I want to 'bookmark' the way it looks now so I can compare it to, for example, what it looks like at this time next year?

I think I'm going to 'print' the Charts & Graphs info into a pdf, but if there's an easier way for me to compare this kind of info for the same library at different points in time, then I don't want to waste my time doing this.

I hope it makes sense what I'm trying to do. Thank you.

Unfortunately not - the only thing that is "bookmarked" in a way is "The Year in Review" module and it deals with the books in the year itself - which is not what you are trying to get.

Printing a PDF of the charts you care about at a certain time is probably the only way...

Some of the graphs show you the changes in time ("Your Books Over Time") for example but it is also dealing with just current data (so if you delete 100 books tomorrow, they will disappear from your 2024 books).
