What is the Snapshot image field in a Dashboard's settings panel?

In Power BI portal when I navigate to a workplace and look at a Dashboard's Settings panel, underneath Owner, Dashboard Name and Contact, there is a field "Snapshot" where I can upload an image. This doesnt seem to appear on the dashboard anywhere.

 

What is the purpose of this field, and where does the image display?

 

Thanks

Does anyone know the right size for the snapshot image (in px, cm, in)? Thanks!

Thank you for the reply.

 

I see now that is what it is used for.

 

Interestingly, on my home page right above the Featured section where the Dashboard "snapshot" appears, the "Favorites + frequents" sections shows that same dashboard without any image (just the default PowerBI icon).
