To simulate a snapshot in Elements:
Do this once: In Elements you can change history states to a higher number. I use 200. Edit menu / Preference / Performance / History & Cache / History States.
When you want a snapshot - duplicate the current working image. File menu / Duplicate. It creates a copy in the editor of the current image with the word copy added to the filename.

This is a great workaround. Unfortunately, it doesn't work the same way as Photoshop's history snapshots. This feature is still Photoshop-only. As a matter of fact, if you run an action in Elements which involves creating a history snapshot, Elements will let you know that this command is not available.
Just a word of caution . . .
Elements is set up to record 50 steps, and, yes, you can change the History States setting to as high as 1,000 steps. However, unless you have a very powerful processor, lots of memory, and plenty of disk space, making Elements remember just 100 steps may slow down your computer and, consequently, Elements will run slowly.

Correction: File menu / Duplicate does not save the History State.
It just saves all your layers under a new Tab as a copy.
I apologize for my mistake.
I do find it useful to duplicate. I use it a lot.
