# applySnapshot(usingReloadData:)

Resets the UI to reflect the state of the data in the snapshot without computing a diff or animating the changes.

```
func applySnapshot(usingReloadData snapshot: NSDiffableDataSourceSnapshotReference)
```

## Parameters

`snapshot`

The snapshot that reflects the new state of the data in the table view.

## Discussion

The system interrupts any ongoing item animations and immediately reloads the table view’s content.

You can safely call this method from a background queue, but you must do so consistently in your app. Always call this method exclusively from the main queue or from a background queue.
