Can't find my snippets in ctrl K/X in SSMS

Question

I imported them in this windows : https://i.stack.imgur.com/sl2EC.jpg

but I can't find them in : https://i.stack.imgur.com/d6P2l.jpg

Any idea why ? It's a fresh install of SSMS (and windows). Worked before.

Answer 1

can you verify that in the definition of your snippets, you have sections like:

<SnippetTypes>
  <SnippetType>SurroundsWith</SnippetType>
</SnippetTypes>

and/or

<SnippetTypes>
  <SnippetType>Expansion</SnippetType>
</SnippetTypes>

This indicate where the snippets can and will be used from. Source: SQL SERVER 2014 Code Snippets missing
