Hi Shanil,

Preview/Undo actions can be invoked from VM context.
I.e.:
/api/vms/{vm_id}/preview_snapshot
/api/vms/{vm_id}/undo_snapshot

These actions are supported only on versions > 3.4, 
in older versions, use 'restore' (which is 'preview + commit'):
/api/vms/{vm_id}/snapshots/{snapshot_id}/restore

To clone a VM from snapshot, POST to /api/vms :
<vm>
  ...
  <snapshots>
    <snapshot id={snapshot_id}/>
  </snapshots>
  ...
</vm>
