+===== Maintenance. Editing a virtual machine. Using the plugin GUI. =====
+  * You can edit the vm from the OMV GUI in the **Services** > **KVM** > **VMs** tab.
+    * Select the vm (yellow color) and press the button on the top bar to access the function you need provided by the plugin. If the plugin does not provide the function you are looking for you can directly edit the vm's xml configuration file by pressing the Advanced button and then the Edit XML button.
+  * You can take Snapshots of a vm to save the current state of a vm and return to that state at any time.
+    * Select the vm (yellow color) and press the Snapshots button in the top bar, then press the Create button.
+    * If you create a Snapshot, some actions cannot be performed, such as unmounting a hard drive from that vm, or editing an XML file, so those buttons will be disabled. To activate them again, delete the Snapshots.
+  * You can clone a vm. This will create a new vm identical to the original with the new name chosen and will create copies of the hard drives with the new name of the cloned machine.
+    * Select the vm (yellow color) and press the Advanced button in the top bar, then press the Clone button.
