Read the snapshot captured by the last query.

```js
element.snapshot
```

## Arguments

No arguments.

## Returns

Cached attribute object; not a live view.

```js
const element = UIHelper.waitForElement({id: "target", visible: true, enabled: true}, 5000);
console.log(element.snapshot.identifier, element.snapshot.rect);
```
